NCIS: Origins is on a long winter hiatus.
The new NCIS prequel took a break in early February, but won’t return for a while due to the number of first-season episodes.
CBS only ordered 18 episodes for NCIS: Origins Season 1, meaning they can’t show new content every week.
But even with a low number of first-season episodes, NCIS: Origins has done well with its Monday night ratings.
Having NCIS as a lead-in is a huge deal, but Origins is bringing in millions of viewers in the 10/9c timeslot.
CBS likes the outlook and has already ordered NCIS: Origins Season 2.
When is the NCIS: Origins return date?
New commercials are airing on CBS that finally shed light on when we can enjoy new episodes of NCIS: Origins.
The return date for NCIS: Origins is Monday, March 24. The new installment airs at 10/9c that evening.
March 24 marks the premiere of NCIS: Origins Season 1, Episode 14. It also begins the march toward the first season finale.
The first season of Origins has only 18 episodes. This means we are close to a possible cliffhanger as the show begins its long summer hiatus.
The good news is that with the renewal, additional new episodes will begin airing from Season 2 in September or October 2025.
