The long-running cast has included Mark Harmon (Leroy Jethro Gibbs), David McCallum (Donald “Ducky” Mallard), Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, and many others across its two-decade run.

The franchise continues to expand on Paramount+ with companion series and prequels; for example, ‘NCIS: Origins’ chronicles a young Gibbs in the early 1990s and streams on the service day-and-date with CBS.

Behind the scenes, Parker and Stone have long handled writing and directing duties, and in July 2025 Paramount announced a multiyear pact adding new seasons and securing the full back catalog for Paramount+, following years of complex licensing negotiations. New episodes air on Comedy Central and stream next day on Paramount+.
