CBS' "NCIS: New Orleans" is coming to an end after seven seasons of shooting in the Crescent City.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final episode will air May 16.
“It has been our sincere pleasure and honor to work on this show and with this incredible cast and crew for over 150 episodes,” executive producers Christopher Silber and Jan Nash told the outlet. “As disappointed as we are to see NOLA end, we couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done and are grateful to the spectacular and resilient Crescent City that embraced us for seven wonderful years.”
"Sad to end our love affair with this phenomenal city but so grateful for all the friends we made along the way," series star Scott Bakula added. "I will miss the music. Big thank you to CBS for seven years."
The youngest series in the franchise made plenty of use of New Orleans' backdrop, from episodes set during Mardi Gras to characters appearing in red dresses after having participated in the annual Red Dress run.
But fans have something else to look forward to in the near future. The "NCIS" franchise will soon launch a new Hawaii-based spinoff, while "NCIS: Los Angeles" is still going. Meanwhile, sources say the flagship "NCIS" series awaits star Mark Harmon's decision on whether he wants to continue for a 19th season. Harmon, who plays special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, helped grown the franchise.
