CBS is under heavy fire from fans after the sudden cancellation of three major NCIS spin-offs: NCIS: International, NCIS: Hawaii, and NCIS: New Orleans. Viewers across social media have expressed disappointment, anger, and confusion, calling the decision a blow to the franchise’s legacy. These series each had dedicated fan bases and were praised for adding diversity and fresh storylines to the long-running NCIS universe.

The backlash has been swift and intense. Many fans feel betrayed, especially after investing years into following the characters and story arcs. Some are now calling for boycotts of CBS programming, demanding answers and even launching petitions to revive the canceled shows. The network has yet to issue a detailed explanation, fueling even more speculation and frustration.

Now, fears are growing that NCIS: Origins, a prequel centered on a young Gibbs, could be next on the chopping block. Though it’s still in early stages, the recent wave of cancellations has cast doubt on CBS’s long-term plans for the franchise. Fans are left wondering if any NCIS spinoff is truly safe.

With the NCIS brand being one of CBS’s biggest assets for over two decades, cutting so many spin-offs at once feels like a risky move. Whether this signals a shift in direction or a broader strategy remains unclear — but for now, viewers aren’t happy.
