Jennifer Beals is set to star opposite LL Cool J and Scott Caan in NCIS: New York, CBS’s latest entry in its hit crime drama franchise, launching this fall as part of the network’s NCIS-branded Tuesday lineup. The series will stream next day on Paramount+.
Beals will play Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robyn Wells, director of the NCIS New York field office and the boss of both leads. Wells leads with her intuition and is widely respected by her team. Jacqueline Byers, Shane Harper and Devin Druid have also been cast as series regulars.
In the series, LL Cool J reprises his NCIS: Los Angeles role as Special Agent Sam Hanna, who returns to his hometown of New York City to lead a newly formed NCIS field office. He partners with roguish agent Nick Schaeffer, played by Caan, as the team takes on high-stakes missions to defend one of the most vital cities and ports in the world.
Byers portrays Special Agent Addison “Addy” Ross, a tough and resourceful agent with something to prove. Harper plays Special Agent Wyatt Hill, described as fearless, sharp and a hopeless romantic. Druid plays Tech Specialist Sean Sullivan, witty and brilliant but resistant to authority.
Beals is best known for The L Word and Flashdance, with additional credits including Luckiest Girl Alive, Devil in a Blue Dress and The Book of Boba Fett. She is also recurring in the upcoming third season of Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Byers previously starred in CBS’s Salvation and recurred on Dark Winds and Roadies. Harper is coming off a series regular turn on Starz’s Power Book IV: Force, while Druid is best known for his role as Tyler Down on Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.
NCIS: New York is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. R. Scott Gemmill, Byron Balasco, Adam Davidson, Kyle Harimoto, Joe Wilson, LL Cool J and Jason Barrett executive produce, with Balasco serving as showrunner.
