CBS unexpectedly axed NCIS New Orleans back in 2021 after just seven seasons, bringing the story of Agent Dwayne Pride (played by Scott Bakula) and his close-knit team to a close.
There have since been more cancellations, with the ending of both NCIS Los Angeles following its 14th outing as well as NCIS Hawaii after just three seasons.

Dwayne Pride - Scott Bakula
Veteran agent Dwayne Pride was at the heart of the NOLA team as the show’s equivalent to the mothership’s Agent Leroy Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon).
Quantum Leap legend Scott Bakula has been relatively quiet since the drama was brought to a close a few years ago.
He starred in a single episode of both What We Do In The Shadows and Unbroken and had a role in sci-fi thriller Divinity which came out last year.
But going by his IMDb page, Bakula hasn’t got anything else major in the pipeline just yet.

Why did Harry and Meghan make a Netflix series about their life?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the centre of public attention since they took a step back from senior royal duties in 2020.
In a trailer for the Netflix series about them, Prince Harry told viewers that “no one sees what’s happening behind closed doors” in a reference to how their lives may differ from what the public think about the couple. Meghan adds: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”.
