CBS has renewed "NCIS" for an 11th season after closing a contract extension with star and executive producer Mark Harmon, the network announced Friday.

"In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger, and Mark Harmon continues to define the role of leading man on the #1 show on television," CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves said in a statement.

"NCIS is the type of franchise every company wants in today's global content ecosystem — high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives revenue on every conceivable platform."





Since premiering in 2003, "NCIS'" ratings have only grown. Currently in its 10th season, the popular procedural is the No. 1 drama on television, averaging 21.48 million viewers and a 4.2 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic.

Last month, it delivered its second-largest audience ever with 22.86 million viewers.
