Major NCIS Gibbs Prequel Update! Guess Which Original Character Is Making a Comeback?

The upcoming prequel spinoff, “NCIS: Origins,” is set to explore the early years of Leroy Jethro Gibbs as a Special Agent in 1991. Mark Harmon, who portrays Gibbs in the main series, will not only narrate but also serve as an executive producer. The show will introduce a younger version of Special Agent Vera Strickland, originally played by Roma Maffia. The storyline will revolve around Gibbs as he builds a formidable team at the NCIS Camp Pendleton office, led by Mike Franks, portrayed by Muse Watson in the main series.

While Sean Harmon, Mark’s son, played a significant role in developing the spinoff, he won’t be taking on the role of the younger Gibbs. Instead, Sean Harmon will join Mark Harmon, David J. North, and Gina Lucita Monreal as executive producers and showrunners. The primary focus of the series is to provide viewers with insights into Gibbs’ early career and the formation of his NCIS team.
