NCIS success linked to linear CBS start before streaming era

NCIS has thrived for over two decades partly because it launched on traditional broadcast television rather than streaming platforms, according to CBS executives and directors involved with the series.

The show debuted on CBS in 2003 and has since completed 23 seasons with more than 500 episodes aired. CBS renewed it for a 24th season, and all episodes are available to stream on Paramount+ alongside several spinoffs.
