Get ready for the ultimate dose of nostalgia, NCIS fans! CBS is set to unveil a brand new series this fall, titled “NCIS: Origins,” delving into the early days of the beloved Leroy Jethro Gibbs before he became the iconic special agent we all know and love.
In this highly anticipated prequel, viewers will witness a fresh-faced Gibbs, portrayed by Austin Stowell, as he embarks on his journey as a special agent at the NCIS Camp Pendleton office. Gone are the seasoned skills and hardened demeanor; instead, audiences will see Gibbs cutting his teeth and learning the ropes alongside his mentor, Mike Franks, played by Kyle Schmid.
But it’s not just a tale of crime and career; romance also takes center stage as Gibbs crosses paths with Mariel Molino’s Special Agent Lala Dominguez. With Gibbs navigating the challenges of a male-dominated profession, Dominguez proves she’s more than capable of holding her own and isn’t afraid to break barriers.
After a remarkable 18-year run, Mark Harmon bid farewell to the role of Gibbs during the 19th season of NCIS in 2021. While rumors initially hinted at a reduced role for the character, Harmon’s departure came swiftly, with Gibbs retiring to Alaska after just four episodes. Yet, NCIS soldiers on, now in its 21st season, boasting a stellar cast including Gary Cole, Wilmer Valderrama, and Katrina Law.
As anticipation mounts for “NCIS: Origins,” fans eagerly await more details about the series. Stay tuned to Collider for updates on the release date and more exciting news about this thrilling prequel.
