The Tuesday, April 21, episode of NCIS isn’t going to be the last time we see LL Cool J as Sam Hanna. He’s reprising his role in a new series coming to CBS in fall 2026.

CBS has ordered NCIS: New York to series, with LL Cool J bringing Sam back to his hometown, starring alongside Scott Caan, who’s actually already in the greater NCIS universe from his time on Hawaii Five-0; that show crossed over with LL Cool J’s NCIS: LA. On Hawaii Five-0, Caan played Detective Danny “Danno” Williams; on New York, his character is described as “roguish special agent.”
