NCIS: Origins: Confirmation, Cast, Teaser, and All We Know
Though Mark Harmon left NCIS with season 19, the seasoned veteran is returning as part of a spinoff called Ncis: Origins. The franchise debuted in 2003 as a spinoff of the blockbuster series JAG and follows special agents from the Naval Crime Investigation Service as they utilize their crime-fighting skills to solve problems within the American military system. Despite joining a slew of successful procedural crime dramas in the early 2000s, NCIS has endured the test of time and become a television institution.
Since the show's debut, the plot has revolved mostly around the character of Leroy Gibbs, the stoic NCIS Supervisory Agent in charge of the crack squad. Mark Harmon played Gibbs since the show's backdoor pilot on JAG in 2003, and he commanded NCIS for 19 successful seasons before riding out into the sunset in pursuit of new adventures in 2021. Even while the original series and its numerous spinoffs continue, a new prequel series has recently emerged, bringing Harmon back to the NCIS universe after only a few years gone.
NCIS: Origins latest news
As more information about the upcoming series becomes available, the newest news reveals that production on Ncis: Origins has begun. New cast member Mariel Molino announced the news on her official Instagram profile, in a short-lived story post that included a screenshot of the screenplay for Orgins' first episode, "Enter Sandman". The script in question bears a watermark saying "Cast Meet & Greet" followed by the date of June 18, 2024. This means that early rehearsals have begun, but it is unknown whether cameras are rolling yet.
NCIS: Origins is confirmed.
The newly released NCIS: Origins is a prequel series that sees Mark Harmon return to the franchise for the first time since his departure in 2021.
Even as several networks' autumn schedules began to air after months of delay, Cbs confirmed that a new NCIS spinoff was in the works. The newly released NCIS: Origins is a prequel series that sees Mark Harmon return to the franchise for the first time since his departure in 2021. Harmon and his son Sean will both serve as executive producers for the series, and while the younger Harmon played Gibbs in flashbacks, he will not reprise his role in Origins. Mark Harmon will contribute narration, but he is unlikely to make an appearance because the drama is set in the 1990s. David J. North and Gina Lucity Monreal will write and co-showrun the inaugural episode.
NCIS: Origins Production Status
Though an exact release date is still unknown, Cbs has confirmed that NCIS: Origins will premiere alongside the flagship series and the new offshoot NCIS: Sydney. With network TV's notoriously short turnaround periods, it appears that the Gibbs-centric spinoff will be ready on schedule, as filming on the first episode began in June 2024.
NCIS: Origins Cast
Much of NCIS: Origins' new cast has been unveiled, and because it is a prequel set in the 1990s, many of the show's familiar faces are unlikely to feature. While some NCIS characters may appear as younger versions of themselves, Origins will most likely feature all-new actors to the program in roles unknown to viewers. Mark Harmon will return in Origins, narrating rather than physically performing the character of Leroy Gibbs. Instead, Austin Stowell took over the role of young Gibbs.
NCIS: Origins will star a younger Vera Strickland, with Diany Rodriguez taking over the character previously performed by Roma Maffia. Additionally, Gibb's mentor Mike Franks will play a key role in the tale, although Muse Watson has been replaced by Kyle Schmid. Two new characters have been announced: Mariel Molino will play prospective love interest Agent Lala Dominguez, while Tyla Abercrumbie will play protective Field Operations Support Officer Mary Jo.
NCIS: Origins Story
The basic plot of NCIS: Origins has already been disclosed; it will follow Leroy Gibbs in the 1990s as he is first assigned to NCIS at Camp Pendleton, where he learns from famous agent Mike Franks and his partner Vera Strickland. Presumably, it will be a procedural mixed with a character drama, since the show will follow Gibbs' ascent through the ranks as well as his investigative skills, which eventually won him the position of Supervisory Agent in the future.
NCIS: Origins Trailer.
Though an official trailer is not yet available, CBS has published a small teaser for the upcoming prequel series. Using clips from Gibbs' farewell appearance on NCIS, the brief clip depicts the beloved Supervisory Agent casting his line while fishing in Alaska. While the teaser has no footage from NCIS: Origins, it does indicate that the show will premiere soon and will most likely be part of CBS' 2024-2025 season.
