The newest CBS spin-off is here!
No, it's not James Van der Beek in CSI: Cyber, but it is another former TV star taking the lead in a another new version of a show with an acronym for a title!
That's right, it's NCIS: New Orleans, the second spin-off of the original NCIS, after NCIS: Los Angeles. Scott Bakula plays Special Agent Pride, the head of the New Orleans office of the NCIS.
Other cast members include Lucas Black, Zoe McLellan, and C.C.H. Pounder as the coroner. The show was introduced with a couple of special episodes of NCIS in the spring, leaving the pilot to delve right into a case in which a former petty officer and student of Agent Pride is found dead.
Earlier this year, we talked to Scott Bakula and C.C.H. Pounder what separates this series from the original show – namely, its New Orleans setting.
"[New Orleans is] strong, vibrant, people want to visit it, people want to know about it," Pounder told us of Louisiana city.
