Six Dead NCIS Characters Who Can Only Return in NCIS Origins
NCIS Origins promises to revive long-gone characters, focusing on Gibbs before he led the NCIS Major Case Response Team (MCRT). Expect appearances from familiar faces like Ducky and Shannon Gibbs, adding depth to the narrative. The series delves into Gibbs’ past relationships, mentors, and pivotal moments that shaped his path to NCIS. Thanks to NCIS Origins, characters who met perilous fates can reemerge.
This new spin-off will rewind the clock, traveling back in time within the NCIS universe. NCIS Origins will hone in on the backstory of the quintessential original MCRT character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. It will focus on the period after his military service and before he became the special agent in charge of the Washington MCRT. The new series is uniquely positioned to give deceased characters new life experiences. It will also feature characters like NCIS Special Agent Vera Strickland, who has been introduced in the NCIS series and could still return to the present.
The NCIS franchise has seen hundreds of harrowing deaths throughout its 21 seasons, including some profoundly influential to Jethro Gibbs. The NCIS Origins spin-off will occur in 1991, over a decade before the original NCIS series began, when most of the deceased NCIS characters were still alive.
