CBS Delays ‘NCIS’, ‘NCIS: Origins’ and ‘NCIS: Sydney’ Returns

CBS viewers will have to wait a little longer for the return of NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney.

All three of the NCIS franchises, which were set to return from their midseason break on Feb. 24, have been pushed back another week due to the State of the Union, President Donald Trump’s annual address to Congress, as first reported by Give Me My Remote.

The State of the Union will air now at 9 p.m. ET on Feb. 24, with NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney resuming their seasons now on March 3.

NCIS last aired a new episode on Dec. 16, with Jess (Katrina Law) being tasked with tracking Ellie Bishop in her shocking first assignment for NCIS Elite during the midseason finale, and NCIS: Origins aired its midseason finale on Dec. 9, with an emotional wedding between Agent Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and Diane Sterling (Kathleen Kenny) setting the mood for the season’s big break.

NCIS: Sydney had a bit of an abrupt midseason break, as it was originally set to air its fall finale on Dec. 16 before the episode was pulled at the last minute following the Dec. 14 Bondi Beach shooting. This means the most recent new episode of NCIS: Sydney aired on Dec. 9.

NCIS: Sydney‘s original midseason finale, titled “South of Nowhere,” featured the team racing to an Antarctica research base to investigate why a climate scientist killed a colleague on Polar Night Eve. Complicating their investigation is the ticking clock, as they have to make it out before their plane’s engine freezes and they’re trapped in darkness for six months.

The NCIS: Sydney episode that was pulled at the last minute will reportedly air at a later date, although it’s unclear when it will fit into the schedule.

NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney will return to CBS on Tuesday, March 3, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
