The second season of “NCIS: Origins” has received an exciting upgrade, which is terrific news for one of “NCIS”‘ top spinoffs. Since the original “NCIS” premiered in the early 2000s, the “NCIS” universe has expanded significantly. As the first prequel series, “NCIS: Origins” has also given the parent show a chance to delve deeper into some of its earliest narratives. One narrative that could potentially grow in the future of “NCIS: Origins” is Gibbs’ connection to the team at “NCIS: New Orleans.
For quite some time, shows like NCIS and its offshoots have been on air, even before the premiere of the prequel. Consequently, there’s a rich history that forms the backbone of the series’ narratives. Luckily, the prequel NCIS: Origins has adhered to the established narrative so far, suggesting it intends to continue this trend. This implies that we might see more characters from NCIS appear on the main show, including Dwayne Pride from NCIS: New Orleans.
NCIS: Origins Is Committed To The Flagship’s Canon
NCIS: Origins Is Not Changing History
Despite occasionally deviating from the established storylines of NCIS in its first season, NCIS: Origins consistently provided explanations for these departures. Thus, it’s clear that the show is dedicated to staying true to the narrative of NCIS. This dedication was evident not only in the season finale but also in the introduction of Diane and Lara Macy, who are significant figures in Gibbs’ life. NCIS: Origins‘ allegiance to the original series is further emphasized by co-showrunner Gina Lucita Monreal, as she told TVLine, “We value the canon and never want to disregard it.” You can read her full quote below:
As a devoted follower of the canon, I diligently ensure that we adhere to its timeline with meticulous care. We strictly enforce our rules to maintain the integrity of the canon, and it’s crucial for us to respect its significance. Therefore, any elements within the canon will be tackled and addressed in some way by us.
It’s fantastic that NCIS: Origins has chosen to remain faithful to the original NCIS, as this ensures that familiar storylines won’t be replaced with new ones. This decision also means we’ll get more insight into well-loved narratives. It appears that while NCIS provided some details about Shannon and Kelly’s murder, as well as Hernandez’s retaliation, NCIS: Origins revealed there was still much left to uncover. This could also apply to other iconic storylines in the original series, such as those introduced through backdoor pilots or character introductions.
NCIS: Origins’ Canon Approach Means New Orleans’ Dwayne Pride Will Inevitably Debut
Dwayne Pride Is One Of The Most Iconic Characters In The NCIS Franchise
In the 11th season of NCIS, Dwayne Pride was introduced as a character to potentially launch a spin-off series, NCIS: New Orleans. However, it’s interesting to note that Dwayne’s relationship with Gibbs predates the premiere of NCIS: Origins by several years. Given that NCIS: Origins tends to focus on the ongoing stories from the original NCIS, it seems quite possible that we might see Dwayne make his debut in the prequel series sometime in the near future.
Despite Monreal’s quote not specifying exact timelines, it’s evident that fan-favorite characters from the NCIS franchise are soon set to make their appearances. Given how quickly the season finale moved character introductions, it seems the show might be accelerating these entrances. This pace suggests that Pride, who is expected according to NCIS lore, will eventually join the cast.
Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ History With Dwayne Pride Explained
Gibbs And Pride Are Friends And Allies
The connection between characters Gibbs and Pride dates back to the mid-80s, according to the storyline in NCIS. Their paths crossed when Gibbs was still serving in the Marines, and later they both joined the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NIS), although they didn’t work together immediately since Pride didn’t appear in NCIS: Origins season 1. Despite this, they remained friends throughout their careers in NIS, with Gibbs even expressing his trust in Pride to such an extent that he would entrust his life to him, demonstrating the strong bond between these two characters.
As a dedicated fan, I can tell you that my bond with Gibbs isn’t just your everyday friendship. We were part of an elite team, the “Fed Five,” alongside Dwayne Pride, Mike Franks, Dan McClain, and Felix Bett. This exceptional group of agents was forged when we took down the Privileged Killer. Coincidentally, our introduction to the Fed Five happens around the time of NCIS: Origins season 2, making it plausible that Pride joined the team then.
