Shocking News: Is NCIS Facing Cancellation? The Fate of Season 21 Hangs in the Balance!

As of the latest information available, NCIS Season 20 has left fans with numerous unresolved questions, prompting concerns about the future of the series. Given the current strike actions affecting the television industry, there is a heightened worry about potential cancellations of beloved shows, as witnessed with the discontinuation of renewed series like The Society and Stumptown during the pandemic.

Unlike the pandemic, which caused production challenges for both scripted and unscripted shows, the ongoing strike primarily affects scripted programs. This unique situation might offer some hope for the continuity of ongoing productions.

As for NCIS Season 21, it is still in progress and slated for airing. CBS appears to have no immediate plans to cancel the series, considering its enduring strength in live ratings and popularity in syndication. Despite no longer being the network’s top performer, NCIS holds its ground and performs well on Mondays, even competing with Monday Night Football in a challenging time slot.

The decision to shift this Tuesday night drama to Mondays has proven successful for CBS, making it a stronger performer than its predecessors. Given the show’s significance as the flagship series, CBS is likely to retain NCIS for strategic reasons, especially if there are plans for additional spin-offs. In the event of any cancellations, other less successful shows on the network would probably be reevaluated before considering the termination of NCIS or its potential spin-offs.
