Summary
TheNCISuniverse is expanding exponentially, but a new spinoff would work better by returning to where the franchise began. WithNCISseason 22on the way and new entries not slowing down, it’s a real surprise that CBS hasn’t set up a series that tips the hit back to the venerable show’s beginning.NCISand its spinoffsstand the test of time because they are very rewatchable, so utilizing the past is a great way to keep the brand alive.
It’s a shame one aspect of the universe’s origins has been forgotten about as far as long-term shows go.The best future forNCISis to delve into this rich historysince it would be a great way to ensure the viability of another series. If CBS is open to it, a show linked to the origins of theNCISfranchise could be the logical next step.
All 10 Seasons Of JAG, Ranked Worst To Best
JAG is an iconic TV show, but not all of its seasons featured the same quality of storytelling and character development. Here’s how they compare.
An NCIS/JAG Spinoff Could Be The Best Future For The NCIS Franchise
NCIS Probably Wouldn’t Exist Without JAG
AlthoughNCIShas produced several offshoots, many have forgotten the storyline actually started duringJAGseason 8. Without the backdoor pilot, there’s a good chanceNCISwould never have been made. Given thatNCISremains a well-watched drama over 20 years later,it wouldn’t be a bad idea to delve back into theJAGuniverse for a new show featuring some formerNCISshared universecharactersand blasts from the past.
With broadcast TV networks struggling to keep viewers invested in linear TV, welding two beloved franchises could be worthwhile. From a marketing standpoint alone,a jointJAGandNCISseries would get much attention, which should result in good enough viewership to sustain it for a long time. Plus, the potential show wouldn’t be the first timeJAGcharacters have returned following its 2005 finale.

Catherine Bell & David James Elliott Reprised JAG Roles In NCIS: Los Angeles
Harm & Mac’s Story Is Far From Complete
Catherine Bell and David James Elliot wereJAG’s biggest drawsbecause of the continued questions about the relationship between Harmon Rabb Jr. and Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie. As a result, there was excitement when the pair shared the screen again in 2019 episodes ofNCIS: Los Angeles. The best part of their reunion was that it revealed they had split up following theJAGseries finale and hadn’t crossed paths in nine years. Instead of putting a pin in their relationship again, theirNCIS: Los Angelesreunion left questions about whether they could get back together.
It was a great way to bring this excellent dynamic back and to tease a reunion. WithNCIS: Los Angelesnow canceled and Paramount focused on the original series,NCIS: Originsseason 1,NCIS: Sydneyseason 2, andNCIS: Tony & Zivaseason 1,there’s a gap in the market for a mash-up show featuring the twoJAGcharacters andNCIS: Los Angelesalums. The project could also welcome some characters from other canceledNCISoffshoots.
NCISseason 22 is set to premiere on CBS in fall 2024.
