Showrunners of both series had previously mentioned crossing over and CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl had stated that discussion about a crossover would start after NCIS: Hawaiʻi finished its first batch of episodes.[23] Diona Reasonover and Gary Cole also made appearances on the NCIS Hawaiʻi episode of the crossover.[24] The series were previously connected in the thirteenth episode of NCIS: Hawaiʻi when it was revealed that NCIS: Hawaiʻi protagonist Jane Tennant was recruited to NCIS by Leroy Jethro Gibbs.[25] Vanessa Lachey appeared as Tennant in the NCIS episode of the crossover.[26] On April 29, 2022, it was reported that Jason Antoon would be appearing in the nineteenth episode of the season as his NCIS: Hawaiʻi character, Ernie Malik.[27]

Production

Development

On April 15, 2021, it was announced that CBS had renewed NCIS for a nineteenth season.[28] The season is set to bring back the series' typical "Case of the Week" format after having more story arcs during the previous season.[29] Production on the season began in July 2021.[30] Series regular Brian Dietzen wrote an episode of the season.[31] On January 5, 2022, it was reported that production on the season had been suspended for at least a week after a cast or crew member tested positive for COVID-19.[32]

Casting

In February 2021, it was reported by The Hollywood Reporter that series lead Mark Harmon had entered discussions to return for "a handful of episodes" for a nineteenth season after he was told that CBS would end the series if he left.[33] On March 10, 2021, it was announced that Katrina Law had been cast in the final two episodes of the eighteenth season, with the option to be promoted to series regular for the nineteenth season.[34] When the series was renewed, it was reported that Harmon would be returning.[28] On May 26, 2021, it was revealed that Emily Wickersham would be leaving the series after the eighteenth season.[35] Wickersham joins Maria Bello who left earlier in the eighteenth season.[36] On June 16, 2021, Variety reported that Gary Cole was in talks for a major role in the nineteenth season.[37] On June 21, 2021, TVLine reported that Harmon will only appear in a small number of episodes of the season.[38] The following day, it was confirmed that Law and Cole would be series regulars for the nineteenth season.[39] Law started as a series regular in the season premiere, "Blood in the Water", while Cole debuted in the second episode, "Nearly Departed".[40] Joe Spano returned as Tobias Fornell, while Pam Dawber returned as Marcie Warren.[29][41] On October 11, 2021, it was officially announced that Harmon would be departing the series, with the fourth episode, "Great Wide Open", being his last appearance as a regular. Harmon remains an executive producer and showrunner Steven D. Binder has left the door open for Harmon to appear in the future.[42][43] In the seventh episode, "Docked", Margo Harshman reprised her role as Delilah Fielding-McGee, while Patricia Richardson guest-starred in the same episode as Judy Fielding.[44] Meredith Eaton also reprised her role as Carol Wilson in an episode of the season.[45]

Marketing and release

On May 19, 2021, it was announced that the series would move from the Tuesday 8:00 PM ET timeslot that it had held for all of its previous seasons to Mondays at 9:00 PM ET, to allow FBI: International to join FBI and FBI: Most Wanted on Tuesdays. The season airs after The Neighborhood and Bob Hearts Abishola and leads into the first season of spin-off NCIS: Hawaiʻi.[46] On July 12, 2021, it was revealed that the season would premiere on September 20, 2021.[47] On September 13, 2021, the promotional poster for the season was released by TVLine.[48]
