LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Scott Bakula will star in an NCIS spinoff set in New Orleans, which will air as a two-episode "planted spinoff" this spring, with the potential to return as a full series on CBS in the fall.
Bakula, best known for his work on Quantum Leap, Men of a Certain Age and Behind the Candelabra, will play NCIS Special Agent Pride, a sort of counterpart to Mark Harmon's NCIS character, Special Agent Gibbs.
