CBS Confirms First Ever Three Series X-Over For NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawaii To Kick Off 2023!
EW reports.
CBS to air first-ever ‘NCIS-verse’ crossover with NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, and NCIS: Hawai’i
The three-show event is scheduled to air in January.
CBS is giving the people what they want: a massive “NCIS-verse” crossover!
EW has exclusively learned that NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, and NCIS: Hawai’i will join forces for a special TV event. This is the first time in the franchise’s history that all three shows are crossing over with each other (NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i have previously crossed over), and they’re appropriately going big.
Fan-favorite agents from each show will team up to solve a case together in a heart-pounding storyline, as they attempt to take down a mysterious and highly trained hitman — with several of their own as his targets.
Expect to see NCIS’ Gary Cole, Wilmer Valderrama, and Brian Dietzen; NCIS: Los Angeles’ Chris O’Donnell and LL Cool J; and NCIS: Hawai’i’s Vanessa Lachey, Yasmine Al-Bustami, and Noah Mills in the episodes, among others.
Long-running flagship series NCIS is currently in its milestone 20th season, making it one of the longest-running prime-time dramas on TV. Its two spin-offs, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawai’i, are in their 14th season and second season, respectively.
The crossover episodes are currently in production and scheduled to air in January on CBS. Check out the exclusive crossover announcement in the video… [below].

You can tell from the joint cast photo to open this piece that the filming has already begun!
Sadly no NCIS: New Orleans formally in the mix as that series was cancelled with Season 7 and was replaced by NCIS: Hawaii.
An NCIS Red series, featuring a travelling team with a pretty high-tech mobile command center, was not picked up by CBS for the 2014-15 season despite a two-episode backdoor pilot in NCIS: Los Angeles titled Red in the 2013-14 season.
Some may recall that this NCISverse sprung from a successful decade of the series JAG, referring to the Judge Advocate General, that ended in 2005.
This looks promising.
