Paramount Audio is set to debut a new crossover podcast series merging two of CBS’s popular franchises: 48 Hours and NCIS.
Titled 48 Hours: NCIS, the series will launch on October 29, 2024, and will be hosted by award-winning CBS News correspondent Natalie Morales.
The inaugural season will delve into the harrowing case of Marine wife Erin Corwin. At just 19 years old, Corwin vanished in California’s Joshua Tree National Park, and her body was discovered in an abandoned mine nearly two months later. The investigation quickly pointed to a fellow Marine, unraveling a complex tale of infidelity and betrayal. This six-episode season of 48 Hours: NCIS will explore this gripping story in depth.
Steve Raizes, EVP of Podcasting and Audio at Paramount Global, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We’re excited to leverage Paramount’s iconic IP by merging two of CBS’s most successful franchises into new, original digital content. This crossover will offer NCIS fans an in-depth look at real cases investigated by the agents from the show, while delivering 48 Hours audiences the high-quality storytelling they expect.”
