The door is still open for Gibbs to rejoin NCIS. Thus, it won’t be hard to reintroduce him into the narrative. That being said, given his emotionally fulfilling farewell, there must be a strong case for his comeback. However, it’s important to note that his role as Ducky’s executor serves as a plot device for his eventual return. In the meantime, the 1000th episode of the NCIS franchise will air in season 21, providing yet another fantastic chance to watch him.
It is already established that Harmon will return to the NCIS universe after the main series with the brand-new spinoff NCIS: Origins. The spin-off will focus on Gibbs’ early years within the company; however, Harmon will be narrating the events, while a younger actor will portray him on screen. The fact that Ducky and he were already friends at the time allows the show’s temporal setting to delve deeper into their connection.
