‘NCIS’ Seasons 1-5 Will Stream on Netflix & We Can’t Wait

Hey fellow movie enthusiasts! Get ready to revisit one of TV’s longest-running hits – yes, you guessed it, NCIS is making its comeback on streaming platforms later this month! As a fan who grew up with this naval investigation unit, I can hardly contain my excitement. With the first five seasons hitting Netflix on January 23rd, we’ll get to retrace the journey of this iconic series and witness how it has transformed over the past two decades. It’s rare for a show to remain on air for more than 20 years, making NCIS not only a beloved staple but also an incredible entertainment legacy. So mark your calendars, folks! Let’s dive back into the world of NCIS and catch up with our favorite characters once again.

Initially, the acclaimed early periods of the show starred Mark Harmon, famously known for his role as special agent Jethro Gibbs. Harmon is almost interchangeable with the series, which spawned six spin-offs starting from Season 6. Harmon portrayed Gibbs for 18 years before stepping down as a regular cast member in 2021. However, he has since returned to the show in the roles of executive producer and narrator for the prequel series, NCIS: Origins, which debuted in October 2024. Harmon recently discussed Origins and its upcoming seasons that will be available on Netflix with Variety.

Do we have a tale to share? Absolutely! Will it be unlike anything they’ve heard before? You bet! It’s going to require effort, and you understand that there will be alterations. You’re aware that there will be aspects within our control, and others where we’ll need to stand our ground, and still, there are things beyond our grasp. At this moment, it seems like we’ve fought tooth and nail for every piece of it, but it feels satisfying.

The Procedural Perfected a Basic Formula in Its Early Seasons

NCIS established its niche among police procedural heavyweights such as CSI, Criminal Minds, and Law & Order (both original and SVU), by Season 2 it had found its rhythm with gripping storylines, interwoven cases, and the distinctive “phoof” previews at episode beginnings, elements that have remained key components of the show’s formula ever since. While the series would attract its highest audience in 2011, Season 2 is often considered a defining moment for the show, delivering some of the most compelling narratives and writing throughout the series.

The success of the series has led to the creation of several spin-offs, including NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Hawai’i, NCIS: Sydney, and NCIS: Origins. The 10th episode of season 22 of NCIS will air on CBS on January 27th, but production for the next season has been put on hold due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, where the show is filmed. However, there’s optimism about the future of NCIS: Origins, as showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal are hopeful that CBS and Paramount will continue to support the spin-off.
