NCIS Fans Furious January Return Dates Will Leave You Waiting!

When Will NCIS Season 22 Return With New Episodes?

CBS fans are accustomed to seeing their favorite shows return in early to mid-January, but 2025 brings a slight delay. NCIS Season 22 is set to return on Monday, Jan. 27, with new episodes airing at 9/8c. This marks the night when all of CBS’s Monday night comedies and dramas resume their regular schedules.

When the show returns, we’ll finally meet the owner of the bakery that Parker frequently visits. She’s caught in a blackmail scheme, and Parker enlists the team to investigate. But could there be more to her story than meets the eye?


When Will NCIS: Origins Return With New Episodes?

NCIS: Origins is also back on Monday, Jan. 27, airing at 10/9c, immediately following NCIS.

The spinoff continues to delve into Gibbs’ backstory, including pivotal moments like how he killed Pedro Hernandez, the man responsible for the deaths of his wife and daughter. Yet, there are still unanswered questions surrounding the events that led to Shannon and Kelly’s tragic fates. We’ll soon learn more about someone close to Gibbs who was meant to be there during that crucial time.


Why the Extended Break is Good News for Fans

While the longer break may feel frustrating, it’s actually a strategic move by CBS. Returning at the end of January reduces the number of weeks left in the season, which means fewer interruptions later in the schedule.

Consistency is key for storytelling, and long gaps between episodes can disrupt the viewing experience. Frequent breaks often lead to confusion about when episodes air, and missed episodes can hurt overall viewershipβ€”sometimes even putting shows at risk of cancellation. By starting later in the year, CBS minimizes mid-season gaps and keeps the storylines flowing more smoothly.

Mark your calendars: NCIS and NCIS: Origins are back on Monday, Jan. 27, starting at 9/8c on CBS.
