A New “NCIS” Spin-Off Series

So, who is this well-known character at the heart of the new project? It’s Sam Hanna from “NCIS: Los Angeles,” played by LL Cool J! As a reminder, “NCIS: Los Angeles” aired from 2009 to 2023. Since its cancellation, the actor has reprised his role in “NCIS: Hawaii” (cancelled in 2025) and in “NCIS.”

While we wait for more details, Sam will make a special guest appearance on “NCIS” in season 23, currently airing for viewers across the Atlantic.
