Breaking: Austin Stowell Cast as Young Gibbs in NCIS Prequel!

CBS has tapped Austin Stowell to portray a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the upcoming prequel series “NCIS: Origins.” Set to debut in the 2024-2025 season, “Origins” delves into Gibbs’ early years, offering insight into his formative experiences as a fledgling special agent in 1991, well before the events of the original “NCIS.” Mark Harmon, who portrayed Gibbs for 19 seasons, has signed on as an executive producer and narrator, with his son, Sean Harmon, joining as a producer.

The series tracks Gibbs as he navigates his nascent career at the NIS Camp Pendleton office, mentored by the legendary NCIS figure Mike Franks. It promises to unveil previously undisclosed aspects of Gibbs’ backstory, providing a fresh perspective for even the most dedicated franchise fans.

Alongside “Origins,” viewers can anticipate a spinoff on Paramount+ chronicling Tony and Ziva’s exploits across Europe. As the franchise gears up to commemorate its 1,000th episode milestone in April with “NCIS,” excitement mounts for these new additions.
