The latest NCIS spinoff, NCIS: Origins, is heating up and setting the stage for a major heartbreak. The series stars Austin Stowell as a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, showcasing his early years as an NIS agent. The tragic loss of Gibbs’ wife and child after his deployment in Operation Desert Storm is the catalyst that pushes him to join the agency, and NCIS: Origins dives deep into this heartbreaking chapter of his life.
While the prequel explores familiar characters like Muse Watson’s Mike Franks (played by Kyle Schmid) and introduces new faces such as Special Agent Vera Strickland (Diany Rodriguez), there’s more emotional turmoil ahead. The heartbreak isn’t just limited to Gibbs’ past—there are twists that will leave fans reeling.
