“NCIS” will return for its 19th season with star Mark Harmon aboard.
Additionally, the network announced it renewed “Blue Bloods,” “S.W.A.T.,” “Bull” and “Magnum PI.”
It was not a given “NCIS” would get a 19th season, as Harmon had discussed leaving the longrunning procedural, which would have likely spelled the end of the show. “NCIS: New Orleans” will end its run after seven seasons this year while the network is developing a Hawaii-set spinoff.
CBS’ other “NCIS,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” is still waiting a decision on if it will get a 12th season. CBS still has yet to make a call on “All Rise,” “B Positive,” “Blood & Treasure,” “Clarice,” “SEAL Team,” “The Unicorn,” and “United States of Al.”
