NCIS: NOLA will film on location. According to CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler:

It will be shot in New Orleans. You’ve got a lot of great cases, a lot of great stories, and the signature NCIS humor. When you look at Scott Bakula [Dwayne Cassius Pride], that’s in his DNA. This is an actor who can give you heart, humor, action.

It’s got all the signature elements of NCIS, and really gives us a chance to build on a huge global brand.

Criminal Minds

Executive Producer Erica Messer spoke to TV Guide about the season nine finale. Here’s an excerpt about the exit of Alex Blake (Jeanne Tripplehorn):

How did Jeanne’s exit come about? Did she want to leave? Was it mutual?

Erica Messer: As things unfold toward the end of the season, when contracts are up and all that stuff, she and I discussed what we wanted to do with the character. We landed on this and Jeanne wasn’t interested in a big, flashy exit episode.

For me, the character she’s been most connected to emotionally is Reid. Hotch and Rossi have known her longer, but she’s closer to Reid — she was the first to know about Maeve and everything. And I just started wondering, “Why is that?” The more I thought about it and because I’m always wondering what makes these characters tick … I started coming up with she had a child who died and what did he die of and maybe he died of something that wasn’t named. As a linguist, that would drive you insane. All of these things started happening and because those two hours [of the two-part finale] are so big and the stakes are high, I felt like the quieter Blake story line would be nice juxtaposition.

According to Amazon.com, the ninth season of Criminal Minds will be available on DVD starting August 26, with a suggested retail price of $55.98. Please note that this release date is subject to change. (Source)

Michael Weatherly (Tony DiNozzo) signed a new, two year deal with CBS. The agreement keeps him on NCIS for the next two seasons, and it gives the actor a chance to produce new projects. Here’s a quote from Weatherly:

I am thrilled for the opportunity to continue playing Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo on NCIS for seasons 12 and 13. Leslie (Moonves), Nina (Tassler) and David (Stapf) have been incredibly supportive of my growth over the last decade and I couldn’t be more excited about working with them on the production side. My new company, Solar Drive Productions, will have fancy letterhead and nice furniture.
