NCIS is an American military police procedural television series and the first installment within the NCIS media franchise. With production helmed by showrunner, Steven D. Binder, the series portrays a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). The concept and characters were initially introduced with two episodes of the CBS series JAG (season eight episodes 20 and 21: "Ice Queen" and "Meltdown", which aired on April 22 and 29, 2003 respectively); as a spin-off from JAG, the series premiered on September 23, 2003, on CBS. Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill are co-creators and executive producers of the premiere member of the NCIS franchise. As of 2025, NCIS was the third-longest-running scripted, live-action American prime-time TV series currently airing, surpassed only by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999–present) and Law & Order (1990–2010; 2022–present); it is the fifth-longest-running scripted American prime-time TV series overall.
As of 2026 with the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and the endings of Blue Bloods, and S.W.A.T., NCIS is the last scripted show under Les Moonves to continue in production.
