Agent Pride, who was once part of NCIS' "Fed 5" with Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and Mike Franks (Muse Watson), will get the help of a talented team.
Actress Zoe McLellan will star as Meredith "Merri" Brody, while Lucas Black will take on the role of Agent Christopher Lasalle or Pride's chief assistant. CCH Pounder will portray Dr. Loretta WadeI, who has been in the Big Easy since the late '90s. (All are pictured in the first official photos above.)
The Cast of NCIS is Coming Back For Season 12
The first trailer of NCIS: New Orleans was released in May and shows Agent Pride solving some new cases and demanding things be done the way he wants them. "My city, my way," he says.
In one scene he even tells Gibbs, "Old school still works in Louisiana," after he throws someone on the street.
Yet, Agent Pride also makes sure to have some fun in New Orleans. He's seen in bed with a woman and later dancing in a bar. And, as promised by the show's executive producer, Gary Glasberg, the festive city is a big theme in the new series.
"I want the city to be as much a part of those conversations as anything. To be able to do that walk-and-talk through the city is exciting for me," he told The Associated Press. "And it's different. And that kind of difference is what I'm trying for."
NCIS: New Orleans premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 23 immediately after the first episode of NCIS season 12.
