For fans of CBS’ procedural franchises with acronym titles, the network’s fall schedule is going to be a dream come true.

Its fall lineup features three new offshoots of the network’s most popular franchises: NCIS: Hawai’i (starring Vanessa Lachey and set in the NCIS Pearl Harbor field office), FBI: International (which follows the FBI’s International Fly team, headquartered in Prague) and CSI: Vegas (what CBS is calling a “sequel” series to the original hit, which ran for 15 seasons).
