All three of CBS’s NCIS shows, which make up the NCISverse, will crossover for the first time in a new event starting in January. The original NCIS launched in 2003 and began its 20th season in September. Since then, it’s been joined by NCIS: Hawai’i and NCIS: Los Angeles. NCIS has become one of the biggest franchises at CBS, amassing over 4.1 trillion minutes viewed when you also include NCIS: New Orleans. The newly-dubbed NCISverse will continue to grow with the addition of the three-hour crossover event that will be available on CBS and to stream on Paramount+.

“We are so excited to finally have the long-awaited, first-ever NCISverse crossover to share with our passionate, loyal viewers,” said Amy Reisenbach, executive vice president of current programs at CBS. “The popularity, longevity and continued success of the franchise is a testament to the immense talent of the casts and writing and producing teams who bring these shows to life. They came up with a thrilling story for this epic three-hour event that creatively brings all three NCIS teams together for fans to enjoy in one night and beyond.”
The NCISverse crossover will center around a very personal, high-stakes case to take down a mysterious hitman. Team members from the different NCIS divisions come together in Washington, D.C., to celebrate a beloved FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) professor who taught multiple members of each of the squads. On the eve of the celebration, the professor is found dead of an apparent suicide and his former students immediately suspect foul play. While investigating his past, they uncover a mysterious hitman, and the more they dig into it, the bigger the targets on their backs become. Members of the team are suddenly kidnapped and all the agents must come together to take down the assassin and save their own.
