Why There’s No New NCIS: Origins Episode on February 24

If viewers tuned in to CBS on February 24, hoping for a fresh installment of NCIS: Origins, they may have been taken aback to discover a repeat of Watson instead. The lack of a new episode left fans questioning why the channel opted to air a rerun and when they could anticipate the show’s return.

Here’s a lowdown on why there’s no new NCIS: Origins episode, when it will be released, and more.

Why CBS did not air new episode of NCIS: Origins on February 24

CBS decided to take a break from NCIS: Origins on February 24 to give the show a brief pause.

Making this tactical decision gives the series a boost towards resuming later in the spring, with continuous episodes leading up to the season finale. Instead of NCIS: Origins, CBS broadcasted a re-run of their fresh medical drama, Watson, featuring Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson. This change not only provided a break for Origins but also enabled CBS to assess Watson’s potential in a prime Monday night time slot, historically occupied by CBS’ popular procedural shows.

Instead of the main NCIS series, which typically has 22-24 episodes per season, NCIS: Origins is planning a shorter debut season with only 18 episodes. This abbreviated format necessitates more pauses to spread out the content across the season, preventing it from running out of episodes prematurely (as reported by Screen Rant).

When will new episodes of NCIS: Origins return?

The new installments of NCIS: Origins will not be shown in February. Instead, they’ll likely appear sometime during the spring, ensuring the series keeps its consistent rhythm as it approaches its season finale, according to Parade magazine.

Starting March 3, CBS is set to broadcast re-runs of NCIS: Origins. This means viewers can revisit significant scenes or catch up on episodes they’ve missed. The first repeat on March 3 will showcase the “Flight of Icarus” episode, where the team probes into the death of a Marine commander’s son while simultaneously unearthing a secret from Mike Franks’ past.

If you can’t wait to follow along with the story, you can find all 13 episodes ready for streaming on Paramount+.
