It won’t be until Monday, Oct. 14 that the “NCIS” Season 22 premiere and “NCIS: Origins,” starring Austin Stowell as a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, will debut. On Tuesday, Oct. 15, “FBI,” “FBI: International” and “FBI: Most Wanted” return for their respective seasons.

“Matlock” will pick up with its second episode on Wednesday, Oct. 16. That night also hosts the debuts of “Young Sheldon” spin-off series “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” “Ghosts” Season 4 and “Elsbeth” Season 2.
