The NCIS schedule for Season 21 is already winding down, but CBS also has a special presentation coming up to celebrate the franchise.
To help celebrate the 1,000th episode from the NCIS Universe, CBS and Entertainment Tonight have teamed up for a fan surprise.
On April 15, the NCIS Universe will celebrate its 1,000th episode with a big episode of the original hit drama.
Here is the intriguing synopsis from that April 15 episode, which features a character returning from the past.
Actor Sean Murray (Agent Timothy McGee) also shared a set photo featuring another character who returns for the big night.
Unfortunately, we are also coming up on the May finale episode for NCIS Season 21.
Upcoming NCIS schedule for Season 21
Below is a brief breakdown of the upcoming television schedule for NCIS. Season 21 is already half over, with the episode count cut due to the two Hollywood strikes.
It could come as bad news that there is no new episode of NCIS on Monday, April 8. That’s when the special presentation will air; sandwiched between two repeat episodes from earlier this season. NCIS: Hawai’i will not air that evening.
- April 1: NCIS Season 21, Episode 6 airs at 9/8c on CBS.
- April 8: NCISverse: The First 1,000 airs at 9/8c on CBS.
