Even though CBS' fall TV schedule is running light on new scripted episodes from its most popular dramas, "NCIS" fans didn't have to wait until September to see the franchise pull off a four-show crossover, or at least the closest thing that audiences are going to get in that department. To be fair, 2023 kicked off with its three then-currently airing dramas crossing over, as "NCIS" characters mixed it up with the leads from "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "NCIS: Hawai'i." But then Daniela Ruah went and showed off an unexpected reunion that topped it all, thanks to Scott Bakula and another "NCIS: New Orleans" vet. Sadly, however, Mark Harmon was nowhere to be found.

As amazing as it would be for Ruah’s pictures to come from the set of one of the CBS dramas,with the promise of a legitimate mash-up from four different "NCIS" dramas for the first time, that’s technically not something that could happen right now anyway. Seen in the Kinsey actress’ Instagram post below, she crossed paths with a variety of franchise vets while on the picket lines for the SAG-AFTRA actors strike and the WGA writers strike, and those will both need to end before any kind of future on-screen crossovers can happen.
