NCIS: New York Will Be A 'Much Darker, Edgier Show,' A Franchise Vet Teases
Are you ready for a dark, edgy NCIS series? You might be getting one this fall with NCIS: New York, according to a franchise veteran.
NCIS: New York is set to introduce a darker and more edgy atmosphere to the popular franchise, according to series director Dennis Smith. The new spin-off, starring LL COOL J and Scott Caan, will be unveiled on CBS on October 6. Smith revealed that the series will differ from the other NCIS shows due to its darker and more intense tone, which was something showrunner R. Scott Gemmill had always desired.
Gemmill, who previously served as the showrunner for NCIS: Los Angeles, is an executive producer on NCIS: New York. Smith, who has directed over 60 episodes of the flagship NCIS series, has been in contact with LL COOL J, encouraging him to use his name if he so chooses. The series will follow LL COOL J's character, Sam Hanna, as he partners with rookie agent Nick Schaeffer in the New York City field office, tackling high-stakes missions to protect the city and its port.
