Movieguide® previously reported:
NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, the newest spinoff of the NCIS franchise, will end after its 155th episode.
“Sad to end our love affair with this phenomenal city but so grateful for all the friends we made along the way,” executive producer and star of the show Scott Bakula said. “I will miss the music. Big thank you to CBS for seven years.”
“It has been our sincere pleasure and honor to work on this show and with this incredible cast and crew for over 150 episodes,” executive producers/showrunners Jan Nash and Christopher Silber added. “As disappointed as we are to see NOLA end, we couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done and are grateful to the spectacular and resilient Crescent City that embraced us for seven wonderful years.”
However, Silber and Nash also announced that with the end of NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, they are working on a new spinoff, NCIS: HAWAII. The duo will co-write/executive produce the project alongside SEAL TEAM writer-producer Matt Bosack.
The NCIS franchise is one of the most-watched series on television, with nearly 10 million viewers tuning in each episode.
