CBS releases the first trailer for the upcoming season of NCIS: New York, previewing the series premiere on October 6. The trailer focuses on Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) as he returns to his hometown of New York City after years of special assignments and covert operations.
Multiple outlets highlight that Hanna’s return comes with major new workplace changes. TVLine notes that Hanna meets both a new partner and a new team in the CBS spin-off, while Deadline emphasizes the same setup and includes additional context from the pilot. The trailer scenes suggest Hanna resumes his role within NCIS in New York rather than operating in the field alone, establishing new team dynamics and relationships to drive the premiere story.
