CBS has greenlit a new “NCIS” spinoff set in New York City starring LL Cool J and Scott Caan, which will premiere this fall.
“NCIS: New York” marks a return to the franchise for LL Cool J. He reprises the role of Sam Hanna after starring in all 14 seasons of “NCIS: Los Angeles” from 2009 to 2023, with additional appearances in the flagship “NCIS” series as well as “NCIS: Hawai’i.” He will appear in two upcoming episodes of “NCIS” on April 21 and April 28.
For Caan, the new role extends a long career at CBS, as he previously played Danny “Danno” Williams in “Hawaii Five-0” for all ten seasons from 2010 to 2020 — even appearing in an “NCIS: Los Angeles” episode during a crossover between the two series. In “NCIS: New York,” however, he will play a new character.
The pilot for “NCIS: New York” was written by Scott Gemmill, who wrote on all 14 seasons of “NCIS: Los Angeles” and served as showrunner for seven seasons; he now serves as writer and creator of “The Pitt on HBO Max. Byron Balasco, who was a writer-producer on CBS’ “Without a Trace” and created the Audience Network series “Kingdom,” will serve as showrunner on “NCIS: New York.” [More at Source]

News: Scott Caan To Star In Fox’s Missing Persons Drama Series ‘Alert’
EXCLUSIVE: Hawaii Five-0 star Scott Caan has been tapped as the male lead opposite Dania Ramirez in Fox’s Alert, a character-driven police procedural from The Blacklist showrunner John Eisendrath and Jamie Foxx, Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment, sources tell Deadline.
Written by Eisendrath, Alert is about the Philadelphia Police Department’s missing person’s unit. When police officer Nikki Parker’s (Ramirez) son goes missing, she joins the LAPD’s Missing Person’s Unit to help other people find their loved ones, even as she searches for her own. Six years later, her world is turned upside-down when her ex-husband, Devon Zoellner (Caan), shows up with a proof-of-life photo of their missing boy. Or is it? The series is a procedural drama with a search for a missing person in each episode, that runs alongside the overarching storyline of Nikki and Devon’s quest to find out the truth about the person claiming to be their long-lost son.
Caan’s Devon is fearless, smart and calm and under stress. He thrived in the life and death world of war-torn Iraq—until the disappearance of his 11-year-old son brought him rushing back. Six years later, with his son still missing, his marriage over and his personal life a mess, he is asked by his ex to help find a young kidnap victim. [Source]
News: Scott Caan To Headline & EP ‘Topangaland’
Former Hawaii-Five-0 co-lead Scott Caan is returning to CBS with a new hourlong starring vehicle, which he also is co-writing and executive producing.

The project hails from Jerry Bruckheimer Television and CBS Studios, where the company is based.
In Topangaland, a laid-back ex-cop (Caan) works for his legendary father’s private detective agency, solving cases that take him from Malibu mansions to Topanga hippie communes to Venice back alleys and everywhere in between — all while navigating a thorny relationship with his dad and the rest of his unconventional family.
