CBS has declared Monday, September 25 as NCIS Day in honor of the 20th anniversary and devoted fans of broadcast TV’s #1 show. The celebratory day falls 20 years and two days after the Sept. 23, 2003 launch of this powerhouse series, which has aired 459 episodes to date and sparked a global franchise.
With all five NCIS series combined, the franchise will reach a milestone 1,000th episode during NCIS‘ upcoming 21st season.
NCIS DAY FESTIVITIES
A mini NCIS marathon (from 8:00 to 11:00 PM on the CBS Television Network with streaming available on Paramount+), featuring the original cast from the first-ever NCIS episode, the second season finale, and a key episode from season 19 with the series’ current cast. See the loglines below.
An opportunity for fans to take 20% off merchandise with code “NCIS20” at checkout in the series’ storefront of ParamountShop.com from Sept. 7 through Oct. 2. There will also be an on-air QR/discount code displayed periodically throughout the marathon so fans can scan and shop.
The launch of a new joint @NCISverse handle across all of CBS’ franchise’s social media platforms to engage the shows’ fans with a more immersive experience!
The debut of the Network’s own social take on the show’s Bandium app, which Gary Cole’s Special Agent Alden Parker introduced to the team during season 19 to “revolutionize” how the team shares information and gets case alerts and updates.
CBS’ version of “Bandium,” accessed through an opt-in messenger feature on Instagram and Facebook, will enable “special agent fans at home” to receive exclusive content, personalized shareable content, special announcements and more! Click here to see Parker introduce the Bandium App to his team on the show.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 18, fans can log in to their Meta accounts (Facebook or Instagram) for early opt-in access to “Bandium.” Those who opt-in before the mini marathon will receive a special message and a “first look” trailer on NCIS Day for the new series NCIS: Sydney (which debuts Monday, Nov. 13 on CBS).
