If The Equalizer does join the NCIS universe (which is losing NCIS: New Orleans this year), it would be the latest in the ever-growing franchise.
Meanwhile, even without a crossover with The Equalizer, the NCIS franchise is going through some changes.
Other shows part of the NCIS universe include JAG (which is what NCIS originated from), Magnum P.I., Hawaii Five-O, MacGyver and Scorpion.
It was recently revealed that CBS is developing a Hawaii spinoff of the procedural, and members of the NCIS: LA cast could barely contain their excitement about the new addition.
