NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is a media franchise of American television programs originally created by Donald P. Bellisario and currently broadcast on CBS, all of which deal with military related criminal investigations based on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service of the United States Department of the Navy.
In 2003, NCIS was introduced via a backdoor pilot, from the TV show JAG with NCIS in turn spinning off NCIS: Los Angeles , NCIS: New Orleans , NCIS: Hawaiʻi , NCIS: Sydney and NCIS: Origins in 2009, 2014, 2021, 2023 and 2024 respectively. NCIS: Los Angeles had a proposed spin-off, but it was not picked up by CBS.
Six television series make up the NCIS franchise: NCIS, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawaiʻi, Sydney, and Origins. All series in total amount to 1,018 episodes across 48 seasons of television. The main NCIS series is the longest-running show of the franchise, which premiered its twenty-second season on October 14, 2024.
The first three series (as well as the intended NCIS: Red), were spun off via a two-part episode from an established series, serving in effect as a backdoor pilot.
