"NCIS has officially been renewed for an 11th season by CBS. The show&amp;#039;s star Mark Harmon has also signed a contract extension, the network confirmed on Friday (February 1).   &amp;quot;In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger, and Mark Harmon continues to define the role of leading man on the number one show on television,&amp;quot; said CBS president Leslie Moonves. &amp;quot;NCIS is the type of franchise every company wants in today&amp;#039;s global content ecosystem - high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives revenue on every conceivable platform.&amp;quot; NCIS regularly performs well in the ratings, and topped Tuesday night&amp;#039;s (January 29) standings with 21.83 million viewers. The New Normal actress Brighton Sharpino was recently cast as a younger version of Abby Sciuto and will play the tech expert at the age of 10 in a forthcoming origin episode. NCIS airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on CBS. In the UK, the show is broadcast on FX, as well as CBS Action, Channel 5 and 5USA. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
