As expected, CBS has renewed "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NCIS: New Orleans" for the 2019-20 season. "NCIS: Los Angeles" will be back for an eleventh season, "NCIS: New Orleans" for a sixth.

The pickups follow the recent renewal of the mothership series "NCIS" as CBS is keeping the CBS TV Studios-produced crime procedural franchise intact. The casts of both "NCIS" spin-offs are expected to return.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" is among the most-watched dramas on broadcast television and is Sunday’s top scripted series with an average of 10.1 million viewers.




“Both shows have been key pillars to the CBS schedule for several years,” said Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment.

“They offer heroic stories, big stars and have attracted a passionate, loyal fan base. We’re excited to have Chris, LL, Scott and these terrific casts back to bring more terrific NCIS stories to viewers in the U.S. and around the world.”

To Bash U.S., ‘NCIS: LA’ Claims Hijab Not ‘Overt Political Statement’ in Iran (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/sadi-martin/2019/09/30/bash-us-ncis-los-angeles-hijab-iran)

NCIS: Los Angeles aired its eleventh season Sunday night. The episode "Let Fate Decide" (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/99321-s11-e01-let-fate-decide/?do=getNewComment) was a compelling watch, given that the team is fighting against ISIS and attempting to stop an all-out war, but of course since the episode involves the Middle East, the writers felt it necessary to include a scene praising the hijab and its wearers, blatantly ignoring the fact that in many Middle Eastern countries the hijab is forced upon women and is not freely chosen like in America.
