Since “NCIS” is the biggest thing since the cronut, and “NCIS: LA” is a spin off hit, why not branch out? The next edition is set in New Orleans and tentatively titled “NCIS: New Orleans.” And just like “Homeland,” this TV show will have a Brody– only she’s a she and “Grace Kelly”-like. And an Agent Pride. Because. He’s proud!

Here’s today’s casting call for the second spin off to CBS’s most surprising blockbuster hit ever– “Big Easy” edition. One day there will cross overs. And we’ll find Cote de Pablo in “NCIS: Chile.”

PS There had better be plenty of authentic music, food and humidity in this show. All the agents will be sweating profusely. Powdered sugar a must!

[NCIS SPECIAL AGENT D. PRIDE] 50s, MALE, charismatic and full of life, a man who savors every
moment but can be rock-solid and strong when needed. He’s stubborn, direct, physical, determined,
no-nonsense and incredibly astute… SERIES LEAD, ANY ETHNICITY

[NCIS SPECIAL AGENT C. LASALLE] Mid 30s, MALE, handsome and sexy, born-and-bred Louisiana,
lean and muscular, a former Sheriff’s deputy who’s been through some rough times and is determined
to bounce back. Tough, clever, devilish, charming, sweet and raw… SERIES REGULAR, ANY
ETHNICITY

[NCIS SPECIAL AGENT M. BRODY] 30s, FEMALE, from the Great Lakes office, full of insights, no nonsense,
put together, a government employee façade on an Ivy League mind, Brody is Grace Kelly-like
in her class, pomp and circumstance. She’s unpredictable, passionate, dedicated, loyal, surprising,
hot, funny, fierce, generous, secretive, vulnerable and, above all, determined to be the best female
agent NCIS has ever known… SERIES REGULAR, ANY ETHNICITY

[DOCTOR L. WADE] 40s, FEMALE, outspoken and seriously on her game. She’s often intentionally full
of contradictions. She’s odd, eccentric, with a sense of humor, void of social boundaries, and loves
college football. She also doesn’t give herself enough credit for still being quite a looker… SERIES
REGULAR, ANY ETHNICITY
