As a die-hard fan who’s seen every episode of NCIS multiple times, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming spin-off, NCIS: Origins. The return of Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs is like a dream come true! I remember watching him lead the original series with unwavering dedication and charisma. It’s been too long since we last saw our beloved character on screen, and I’m ecstatic to witness his younger days in action.
The enduring influence of NCIS continues, with a new prequel series on the horizon. This one, titled NCIS: Origins, delves into the past to explore the early beginnings of its most cherished character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. In this spin-off, Austin Stowell portrays a younger Gibbs as he embarks on his career with the NCIS as a special agent in 1991. Delightfully, longtime fans will be pleased to learn that Mark Harmon, who helmed the original series for numerous seasons as Gibbs but parted ways at Season 19, is set to reappear in NCIS: Origins.
As per Deadline’s report, Mark Harmon will step back into his iconic character Leroy Jethro Gibbs for a cameo in the premiere episode. Earlier reports suggested that he would only lend his voice as the narrator for this prequel series, but it appears that he’ll be making an on-screen appearance now. The show’s co-showrunner David J. North mentioned to the press that Harmon’s return was decided after a conversation between him, producer Gin Monreal, and Harmon himself. While the current series, titled “Origins,” primarily focuses on the 1991 version of the character, North doesn’t dismiss the possibility of Harmon making further appearances, stating that they are open to any possibilities.
“Mark, Gina Monreal, and I had an engaging talk. I’m confident the audience will be thrilled to witness his return after such a long time.
NCIS: Origins Explores New Territory
In its ongoing run on CBS, the long-standing TV show NCIS is about to delve into a fresh chapter with the spin-off series titled Origins. Instead of the seasoned and experienced character that viewers have grown accustomed to, Leroy Jethro Gibbs will be portrayed as a new recruit in NCIS, navigating an emotional path following the tragic murder of his family in 1991. CBS Entertainment President Amy has hinted at broadening the NCIS universe and incorporating Origins, suggesting a darker and more intense series compared to previous ones.
I’ve found it great to see these spin-offs of our franchise. Each one has its own distinct identity. The show ‘NCIS: Origins’ is quite different from the other NCIS series; it feels strange to call it a period piece since it’s set in the ’90s. Honestly, it makes me feel a bit old! It’s got a grittier, edgier vibe compared to the previous NCIS shows.
The lineup for NCIS: Origins features Austin Stowell portraying special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Mariel Molino as Lala Dominguez, Kyle Schmid as Mike Franks, Diany Rodriguez as Vera Strickland, and Tyla Abercrumbie as officer Mary Jo Sullivan. The trailer hints at Gibbs joining a group of special agents, leaving his impression as a team player before ultimately ascending to the role that would win him fans’ hearts in NCIS. In brief:
NCIS: ORIGINS launches in 1991, years before the stories of NCIS unfold. This spin-off series introduces a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, portrayed by Mark Harmon, as he embarks on his career with the NCIS at Camp Pendleton’s early office. Here, Gibbs carves out his niche within a tough, makeshift team, under the guidance of legendary NCIS figure, Mike Franks.
