Netflix Reverses Decision on NCIS Removal: What You Need to Know
In an unexpected twist, Netflix has decided to keep some seasons of the popular TV show NCIS on its platform, contrary to its earlier announcement of a complete removal by the end of June. This reversal has brought relief to fans who continue to flock to the show, which remains a major hit both on television and streaming services.
Here’s what’s new about Netflix’s plan for NCIS:
Netflix to Retain Some NCIS Seasons
Originally, Netflix had planned to remove all seasons of NCIS from its streaming service, leading to widespread disappointment. However, the updated plan now reveals that only select seasons will be removed. Specifically, Seasons 12 through 15 will remain available for streaming on Netflix. This change means that Seasons 1 through 11 will be removed, a significant shift from the initial plan to remove the entire series.
Reason Behind the Decision
While Netflix has not provided a detailed reason for this change, it aligns with CBS’s broader strategy. Paramount+, which is CBS’s streaming service, is the official home for NCIS, hosting new episodes shortly after they air. By keeping only select seasons on Netflix, CBS likely aims to drive viewers to Paramount+ for access to the full series and the latest episodes.
Impact on Tony and Ziva’s Storyline
This update also impacts the availability of Tony and Ziva’s storyline. Their relationship, which started in Season 3 and concluded in Season 11, will no longer be accessible on Netflix. Additionally, Ziva’s appearances in Seasons 16 and 17, as well as the upcoming spinoff series, Tony & Ziva, will be exclusive to Paramount+.
What’s Next for NCIS Fans?
As fans adjust to these changes, there’s growing anticipation for the new spinoff series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which is set to premiere on Paramount+. This series will reunite the beloved characters for an exciting new adventure in Europe, promising fresh storylines and character developments.
