LL Cool J Returns in New York Spin-Off Trailer

The NCIS franchise is back on the road, and this time, it’s taking a new, exciting spin. Following nearly a quarter of a century of success, the beloved series is expanding its universe with a new spin-off set to debut this fall: NCIS: New York.

This new addition marks the seventh spin-off series to grace the screen since the original NCIS premiered in 2003, signaling that the dynamic world of NCIS continues to evolve and captivate audiences. The series is firmly rooted in the Big-Apple creative landscape, promising fresh perspectives within the established procedural format.

At the heart of this upcoming series is a character fans have grown to adore. Special Agent Sam Hanna, a familiar face for viewers, will be back in the spotlight. LL Cool J is set to reprise his role as Hanna, bringing his unique energy and charisma to the new adventure.

Hanna’s journey through the NCIS world has been extensive. He spent fourteen years as a core member of the main cast of NCIS: Los Angeles, an era that defined his character’s narrative arc from 2009 to 2023. Even when not directly involved in the main LA team, Hanna has continued to feature in other NCIS shows, most recently taking on a season-long role in NCIS: Hawai’i.

With the return of Hanna, audiences can anticipate a thrilling continuation of the NCIS legacy, blending familiar faces with new jurisdictional challenges as the franchise continues to push forward.
