As NCIS Season 22 takes its winter break, fans are looking ahead to the possibility of a Season 23. With eight episodes of the current season aired, the show remains a staple for many viewers, maintaining its status despite the absence of its original cast members. Even though the show has undergone significant changes, it continues to be one of the most cherished series on television.
So, what are the chances of NCIS Season 23?
Performance-wise, NCIS shows promise for renewal. According to TV Series Finale, while the linear ratings have experienced a slight decline compared to last season, they remain stable and fall in line with other CBS programs. Notably, the show ranks seventh among all scripted series on the network and fifth among dramas alone, signifying its ongoing popularity.
Moreover, NCIS has demonstrated resilience against tough competition like Monday Night Football. The Monday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot was initially seen as a gamble, but the series has consistently pulled in solid viewership. It ranks higher than CBS’s new Monday night comedy, Poppaβs House, in both key demographic and total audience figures, further proving its appeal.
With this context, it seems likely that CBS will opt for a renewal unless production costs have significantly outstripped the show’s ratings. For now, fans can look forward to NCIS returning on Monday, January 27, at 9/8c on CBS, with hopes for another season following closely behind.
