Broadcast TV series are very slowly and cautiously heading back to production amid the coronavirus pandemic. I have learned that CBS drama stalwart NCIS and spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles have been assigned tentative dates to start production on their upcoming seasons under strict COVID-19 protocols — Sept. 9 for the mothership series and Sept. 3 for NCIS: LA. Both series, produced by CBS TV Studios, film in Los Angeles.
