Future NCIS Spinoffs Need to Go Back to Their Roots, and It’s Actually Not NCIS!!!!!

NCIS Travels Back to Its Beginnings with New Spinoff

The NCIS franchise is set to enter an exciting new chapter with the release of NCIS: Origins, a spinoff that takes fans on a time-traveling journey to the 1990s. This series will explore the early career of Leroy Jethro Gibbs as an NCIS Special Agent, offering a fresh look at the franchise’s iconic characters and their beginnings.

The roots of the NCIS universe stretch back to JAG, a popular CBS show that aired from 1995 to 2005. JAG centered on military officers who were also lawyers, laying the foundation for what would become the NCIS we know today. As NCIS evolved into a massive franchise with multiple spinoffs, it has continually expanded upon its legacy.

If NCIS: Origins resonates with audiences, there may be further opportunities for time-travel spinoffs, delving deeper into the past of beloved characters. Given the pivotal role JAG played in NCIS’s creation, revisiting unfinished storylines from the original show could also be on the horizon. Fans will remember when NCIS linked back to JAG in a crossover featuring Harmon Rabb Jr. and Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie, which left lingering questions yet to be answered.

With NCIS: Origins, the franchise continues to grow, opening up fresh storytelling possibilities that could bring closure to fans of both JAG and NCIS, while introducing new and exciting narratives for the next generation of viewers.
