"NCIS" isn’t going anywhere anytime soon: CBS on Monday renewed the long-running procedural for Seasons 14 and 15.

“It’s extraordinary that in its 13th season and with over 300 episodes to its credit, NCIS continues to excel at such a high level on a global scale,” said Glenn Geller, President, CBS Entertainment, in a statement.

“It is testimony to an amazing cast, led on and off the screen by the exceptional Mark Harmon, for skillfully bringing this universally appealing team of heroes to life; and to Gary Glasberg and his writers for crafting compelling stories that feature NCIS’s signature blend of mystery, quirk, drama and comedy every single week.”





For Season 14, "NCIS" is aiming to add two series regulars — including a female FBI Special Agent who has recently transferred to D.C. from New York City’s Counter-Terrorism Unit.

The fresh blood is intended to fill the void left by Michael Weatherly, who is departing the show in May after 13 seasons.



"NCIS" this season is averaging 17.1 million total viewers and a 2.3 demo rating — ranking No. 1 and No. 5 among all broadcast dramas. Those tallies swell to 21 mil and 3.2 with Live+7 DVR playback.

The two-year pickup came after CBS inked a new deal (also for two years) with leading man Mark Harmon.
