"NCIS" star and executive producer Mark Harmon has signed a new agreement to continue on the CBS/CBS TV Studios series. With him on board, the long-running crime procedural drama has been renewed for the 2018-19 broadcast season.

Now in its 15th season, NCIS remains CBS’ #1 drama series. Additionally, it has been crowned as the most-watched drama in the world in three of the last four years and is the reigning champ in the category as the recipient of the 2017 International Audience Award by Eurodata TV Worldwide and the Monte Carlo Television Festival.

"NCIS" is currently licensed in more than 200 territories.

This season, "NCIS" is averaging 17.0 million viewers and is one of the top five most-watched shows on broadcast television. "NCIS" is also one of the most-watched primetime series across CBS’ digital platforms, including CBS All Access and in the Electronic Sell Through market.

In syndication, previous season episodes of "NCIS" are cable television’s most-watched off-network drama, out-delivering the next closest competitor by +23%. "NCIS" is also cable’s second most-watched off-net series — comedy or drama — behind only "The Big Bang Theory".

“It’s pretty simple – viewers everywhere love NCIS,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment.

“This show speaks to viewers of all ages, in all parts of the country and around the world. NCIS’ amazing characters and terrific storytelling result in some of TV’s most passionate fans. Of course, none of this would be possible without an outstanding production team, and talented cast led by the incomparable and absolutely tireless Mark Harmon. We’re thrilled he is returning as the centerpiece of the show, and we could not be more excited for NCIS’ 16th season.”
