NCIS Season 8 In Danger?

By Rachel Manus

With few days to complete their seventh and most successful season in the last hours we discovered that the atmosphere behind the scenes in NCIS is not optimal for one of the most important series of the TV.

This is because Michael Weatherly (Tony Dinozzo ) Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto ) David McCallum (Dr. Mallard ) and Sean Murray (Timothy McGee ) are in negotiations to increase their salaries for next season .

Although no one believes that NCIS does not have an eighth season , the continuity of all the players if I could be in doubt , considering that the contracts of these four actors come to an end in the next few hours .

According to several analysts , the negotiations between actors and CBS TV Studios have experienced some problems because the study did not offer large increases to the actors, you really do not have salaries commensurate with the most-watched series on TV.

Apparently , a couple of actors in conflict earning less than $ 100,000 per episode, a low figure for a series in its seventh year and has not stopped growing since its release .

It is positive , Mark Harmon, Cote de Pablo and Rocky Carroll are under contract for another season , which means that almost half of the original cast is confirmed at this time.

Finally , considering that the series is averaging nearly 20 million viewers per episode, sooner or later confirm the participation of all actors in the new season NCIS.

Beginning to end with one of the longest novels in recent months , this morning it was confirmed that Michael Weatherly agreed to star eighth season of NCIS.

It is worth remembering that Weatherly was one of four original characters , with Pauley Perrette, David McCallum and Sean MurrayWho had no contract for next season, so he spent the recent months in negotiations.

In several cases the negotiations were some problems, differences between the parties , but little by little seems to be confirming the return of all those involved NCIS.

Despite delays in the negotiations no one doubted the continuity of the actors, especially when Weatherly and Perrette participated in the 2010 Upfronts , presenting part of the programming CBS.

With the participation of Weatherly, Perrette and McCallum confirmed , now only remains to complete negotiations with Murray, one that will be announced within a few days.

Whereas NCIS is the most-watched series on American television , it was very difficult for the chain as important as changes allow the departure of several of the protagonists, so it was only a matter of time to reach a new agreement.

The seventh season NCIS will be released in September - 40727
