CBS has ordered a new “NCIS” prequel surrounding young Gibbs straight to series, the network announced Friday.
Narrated by Mark Harmon, “NCIS: Origins” will follow young Leroy Jethro Gibbs beginning in 1991, years before the events of “NCIS.” In the series, which is slated for the 2024-2025 broadcast season, “Gibbs starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks,” according to the official logline.
Mark Harmon and his son, Sean Harmon — both of whom have portrayed Gibbs — will executive produce the series alongside “NCIS” writers David J.
