NCIS Season 22, Episode 2, “Foreign Bodies,” aired on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Monday, October 21, 2024. NCIS: Origins Season 1, Episode 3, “Bend, Don’t Break,” followed at 9 p.m. ET/PT the same night. Both were part of CBS’s regular Monday lineup that fall, so the two episodes ran back to back in consecutive hours.

Why the Origins premiere looked different
NCIS: Origins did not follow its regular one-hour pattern for its premiere. CBS Detroit reported that the two-hour series premiere aired Monday, October 14, 2024, from 9 to 11 p.m. ET/PT. That same report described Paramount+ access for the premiere: live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, and on demand the day after broadcast for Paramount+ Essential subscribers. Those terms applied to the 2024 premiere only and do not establish current streaming availability for either episode.
Checking current CBS times
The schedule above reflects October 2024. CBS’s current NCIS: Origins series page lists new episodes on Tuesdays, which reflects present-day scheduling and does not describe the 2024 Season 1 slot. For the current week, check CBS’s schedule or your local CBS station’s listings, since time slots change between seasons.

Search phrasing that matches this question
- “What time is NCIS on CBS tonight?” for the current NCIS slot
- “What time is NCIS: Origins on CBS?” for its current series schedule
- “When does NCIS Season 22 Episode 2 air?” for the 2024 broadcast date and time
For the two episodes covered here, the key facts are the October 21, 2024 air date, 8 p.m. ET/PT for “Foreign Bodies,” and 9 p.m. ET/PT for “Bend, Don’t Break.”
