NCIS fans probably saw this one coming, but CBS did make it official – the series will be back for season 11. The network also extended the contract of the show’s star/executive producer, Mark Harmon. The renewal guarantees NCIS will return for the 2013-2014 season.

The decision was pretty much a no-brainer for the network as season 10 has become television’s #1 show, averaging 21.48 viewers. That’s a 7% increase over season nine.

“In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger, and Mark Harmon continues to define the role of leading man on the #1 show on television,” stated Leslie Moonves, President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Corporation. “NCIS is the type of franchise every company wants in today’s global content ecosystem – high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives revenue on every conceivable platform.”

The cast is led by Harmon and includes Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, Sean Murray, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Brian Dietzen, and David McCallum.
