NCIS fans tuning in for the new episode on April 20 were greeted with a repeat episode from earlier in Season 18.
The original NCIS schedule had the new episode called Sangre scheduled to debut on Tuesday night, but due to the court case taking place in Minnesota, CBS decided to shift the episode to a new night.
Viewers tuning in without seeing the announcement have been greeted with the final episode for Jack Sloane (Maria Bello). It originally aired on March 2 and was NCIS Season 18, Episode 8. Fans will get a second opportunity to watch it.
NCIS Season 18: Why a New Episode Didn t Air This Week
On 4/21/21 at 6:48 AM EDT
NCIS Season 18 was meant to continue on CBS on Tuesday, April 20 with Sangre, the first episode since Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) spilled the details of his suspension to a journalist. Real journalism got in the way of the episode airing, however, with Episode 12 of the show s season postponed by the network.
Why
On April 20, CBS preempted their prime-time line-up, meaning that the planned episodes of
NCIS, FBI and
NCIS and
Most Wanted was replaced by the CBS News special
The Chauvin Verdict.
CBS came to its decision to change its scheduled programming after the jury returned with a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial just hours before the episodes were due to air.
