In case you haven’t heard, CBS is working on another NCIS spinoff, this one set in New Orleans. Now we can reveal the pilot has found its star: Scott Bakula.
The Golden Globe-winning Quantum Leap actor will play NCIS Special Agent Pride, a man who “embodies New Orleans.” The role description states Pride is driven — not by pride — but by the “need to do what’s right and does it all with warmth, passion, strength and humor. He’s a unique federal agent working in one of this country’s most unique cities.”
More details from CBS on the pilot: “The NCIS New Orleans office handles cases from Pensacola through Mississippi and Louisiana to the Texas panhandle. New Orleans with its rich setting of music, fun and debauchery is a magnet for military personnel on-leave. And with fun comes trouble. It is a natural backdrop for a unique character driven spin-off.” The spinoff pilot will air as part of a two-part NCIS episode this spring.

ReplyDeleteNCIS is great at casting the leading star
ReplyDeleteHow funny they they Jag's Bud and Harriet used to attend Quantum leap's conventions. It was also a bellisario production
ReplyDeleteAnd suddenly I'm actually excited about this show! Great casting choice!

ReplyDeleteI don't watch NCIS or any procedural for that matter, but I love, love, LOVE New Orleans and Scott Bakula, he was an awesome Star Trek captain, I think i am going to give it a try
ReplyDeleteGod I hope this spinoff is a success. Loved Quantum Leap, and I enjoyed Enterprise (later Star Trek Enterprise). Here's one guaranteed viewer if the spinoff gets off the ground.
ReplyDeleteOK I'm not a fan of this new Spin-off, but does someone have information on when will do the episode with the introduction of this new team will air (if there will be one).
ReplyDeleteSays in the article above:
ReplyDelete"The spinoff pilot will air as part of a two-part NCIS episode this spring."
As for the spinoff, unlike the "NCIS:Red" spinoff that was planned, that was intended to be spun-off from NCIS:LA. While this New Orleans show is a spinoff on NCIS, and Mark Harmon among others is involved in producing it.
Thank you.
