Why was NCIS season 22 episode 13 delayed?

Monday nights have been regular slots for NCIS and NCIS: Origins. Dedicated fans of the show awaited fresh episodes on Monday, February 17, 2025.

However, they were disappointed after tuning in, as instead of the regular episodes, CBS aired a rerun of NCIS season 22, episode 2, Foreign Bodies.

This delay was caused by President's Day, a federal holiday celebrated throughout the United States. All the major networks changed their schedules to accommodate the holidays, as fewer people tuned into their televisions on these days.

Fans can watch a fresh NCIS episode with twists and turns next Monday. However, fans of NCIS: Origins will have to wait a little longer because there won't be any new episodes of the show for the rest of February.

Watson, CBS's upcoming medical procedural, will take the time slot instead.
