#NCIS: Season 19 May Have Less Mark Harmon as CBS Series Changes Nights

“#NCIS: Season 19 May Have Less Mark Harmon as CBS Series Changes Nights”

NCIS fans will soon have a 19th season to check out on CBS, but there are big changes ahead. The first and most obvious being a new night, and the second being less of Mark Harmon on screen. He has led the cast of the series for its entire run.

Harmon will only appear in a small number of episodes in ‘the low single digits,’ per TV Line. The series is looking to pick up someone to fill in the void by the lack of Harmon. Gary Cole is a possibility.

As for the time slot change, NCIS has aired on CBS for its 18 season run. The series will now air on Monday nights. Kelly Kahl, CBS Entertainment president, said the following about the night change, per The Hollywood Reporter:

“I look at it as a forward-looking move. Putting franchises together as we’re doing with FBI is certainly one way people enjoy watching TV these days, especially linear TV. It works, and it’s not new to us because we’ve used our franchises to launch other franchises over the years. So this move of NCIS to Monday lets us take a night that was doing OK but now kind of supercharge it. Dropping the number one scripted show on TV in the middle of a Monday night makes it an extremely strong night, and it gives us a chance to launch another piece of the franchise in NCIS: Hawai’i.”

That new series just started production on its first season last week. CBS will announce premiere dates for NCIS and more at a later date.

What do you think? Are you excited to check out a mostly Harmon-less season 19 of NCIS on CBS?
