Monday's episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles and Supergirl have been pulled from the schedule in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris.

CBS made the decision 'out of sensitivity and respect to the events that occurred,' a network insider told TVLine.com Sunday.

They will be replaced with episodes that were scheduled for later in the season.

The coordinated attacks in the French capital on Friday night killed at least 130 people and left hundreds injured.

The Supergirl episode titled How Does She Do It? involved Kara, played by Melissa Benoist, tackling a spate of bombings throughout National City.

It will be replaced by Livewire, a Thanksgiving-themed episode originally slated to air next week.

It will be replaced by The Long Goodbye that was set to air on December 7.

However, ABC still plans to go ahead with Sunday night's scheduled episode of its terrorism drama Quantico, according to Deadline.com.

Lionsgate also announced on Sunday that it plans to scale back its LA premiere for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.'

The studio said there will be no interviews with the talent at the event at LA Live on Monday although the screening will go ahead.

'Out of respect for the very recent events in Paris, we have decided to modify our red carpet and we will not conduct interviews at Monday’s Mockingjay 2 premiere,' Lionsgate said in a statement. 

'We will proceed with the rest of the event as planned in honor of the incredible fans who have always supported our films with such passion.'

It's not yet clear whether the planned New York premiere for the movie starring Jennifer Lawrence will be similarly affected.
