Special Agent Jessica Knight has her hands full with a sassy socialite, as seen in TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek from the next episode of NCIS.

In the episode “Knight and Day,” airing Monday at 9/8c on CBS, things get tense after the home of a high-level defense contractor is attacked, and Knight (played by Katrina Law) is assigned to protect the man’s wife (guest star Brianna Brown of Outer Banks, The CW’s Dynasty and, yes, NCIS: New Orleans once upon a time).

Ever since Gibbs as narrator told us in the NCIS: Origins premiere that this is “a story I don’t tell, this is the story of her,” there’s been much speculation about why he, across 19 years of NCIS, never so much as mentioned a Special Agent Lala Dominguez.

Origins star Austin Stowell, at the start of the TVLine video Q&a above, shares what he does (or, doesn’t) know about “the story of her,” and then confesses his own theory, and whether it holds water.

If there is one thing NCIS: Origins knows how to get right, it’s an emotional journey filled with tears and fears. No character on the show is safe from development. We just hope the show picks up the pace a little.

One of the main concerns viewers have for the premiere season is that Special Agent Lala Dominguez needs to be developed and utilized correctly.

Considering how well NCIS: Origins has done developing Gibbs, Franks, and even Randy, I’d have to agree with that assessment of Lala.

NCIS: Origins Season 1 has had some ups and downs, but the show has consistently delivered exciting episodes. However, some definitely shine above the rest.

Is Mark Harmon coming back to NCIS? That’s one of the questions many fans have been asking.

Harmon played Leroy Jethro Gibbs for many years on NCIS, but he retired the character during Alaska and took time away from television.

Clips featuring Harmon (as Gibbs) at a campfire have garnered much attention online, leading many fans to hope that Harmon is returning to NCIS.

But those campfire clips are from NCIS: Origins. Harmon has appeared on the show to ensure viewers understand that he is narrating the show as Gibbs.

NCIS: Origins is set in 1991 and covers earlier stories about Young Gibbs and Young Mike Franks. In this fashion, Harmon plays the narrator to tell fresh stories about his character.

Austin Stowell plays the Young Gibbs on NCIS: Origins. He follows in the footsteps of Sean Harmon, who served as the Young Gibbs during previous NCIS flashbacks.

Is Mark Harmon coming back to NCIS?...

NCIS: Origins is in its first season on CBS. The new prequel show airs Monday nights after Season 22 episodes of NCIS.

The drama premiered with two episodes on the same night in October, introducing the new cast to CBS viewers.

In 1991, NCIS: Origins tells the early stories of Young Gibbs and Young Franks, who first partnered up on the job many years ago.

Mark Harmon is an executive producer and the narrator for NCIS: Origins. His son, Sean Harmon, is also an executive producer and had the idea for the show.

Mark even popped up again as Leroy Jethro Gibbs during the season premiere, with the character writing his memoirs while still in Alaska.

Sean passed on returning as Young Gibbs. He played the role during flashback episodes of NCIS, but Austin Stowell has the job on this new NCISVerse show.

When does NCIS: Origins return with new episodes?

CBS is headed back Down Under in 2025. The second season of NCIS spinoff NCIS: Sydney premieres in January.

‘NCIS: Sydney’ Season 2 coming to CBS in January Tuuli Narkle, Todd Lasance, Olivia Swann, and Sean Sagar of ‘NCIS: Sydney’ | Daniel Asher/Paramount+

On Nov. 13, CBS revealed winter premiere dates for new and returning shows, including NCIS: Sydney. Season 2 of the Australian-set drama will begin airing on Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt.

“Y’all ready for this?” asked series star Olivia Swann on Instagram after the premiere date was announced.

The Friday night timeslot for the first international NCIS show is a change from season 1, when it aired on Tuesday evenings. For season 2, NCIS: Sydney will take over S.W.A.T.’s 8 p.m. timeslot. S.W.A.T. is moving to the 10 p.m. slot previously occupied by Blue Bloods, which will wrap up its 14-season run in December.

NCIS: Sydney Season 2 will have 10 episodes.

In Season 1 Episode 7 of NCIS: Origins, titled “One Flew Over,” airing at 10:00 Pm on Monday, November 25, 2024, the show takes viewers back in time to follow a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs at the start of his career. Freshly minted as a special agent, Gibbs is assigned to the NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he joins a team of agents still finding their footing.

This episode delves into the early days of Gibbs’ career, as he works to prove himself and find his place in the high-pressure world of NCIS. He is guided by Mike Franks, the legendary NCIS agent who leads the team. The episode showcases the gritty, sometimes chaotic nature of the team, with Gibbs facing challenges that help shape him into the iconic character fans know. With plenty of action, drama, and character development, “One Flew Over” offers a glimpse into Gibbs’ beginnings and the relationships that would influence his career.

NCIS Season 22 is taking a short break from new episodes. But don’t worry – the show has lots of new content coming this year.

A new season of NCIS debuted in October, marking the 22nd straight year the hit drama has aired in primetime.

Monday nights also feature the new NCIS spin-off, NCIS: Origins. The latest spin-off is set in 1991 and depicts the early days of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Mike Franks on the job.

Austin Stowell plays a younger Gibbs, the role that was made famous by actor Mark Harmon. The good news is that Harmon is an executive producer and the narrator.

Meanwhile, Gibbs’ former team has been busy at NCIS this fall, with several dramatic episodes playing out at the offices.

Recently, Agent Timothy McGee (played by Sean Murray) was passed over for a promotion, so it’s likely a plot point that will be addressed again.

The latest NCIS series follows the origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs joining the military law enforcement organization. As an origin story, Mark Harmon couldn’t play the role, and the series had to find a young actor to play the role. That ended up going to Austin Stowell, and Harmon seems happy with the choice.

Here is what Harmon had to say about Stowell’s casting and his thoughts on narrating the series.

Mark Harmon Talks NCIS: Origins Casting Process

Mark Harmon is still an executive producer for the NCIS franchise. As a result, he has a heavy hand in everything from casting to the storylines. He was also one of the people who helped pick out who played the younger version of his character. It was a process that Harmon said he loved.

“Incognito,” the sixth episode of NCIS: Origins, attempts to give Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) his first undercover moment, a situation seemingly ripe with potential for awkward humor and fish-out-of-water shenanigans.

“NCIS: Origins” shared a glimpse inside Lala Dominguez’s armor during an action-packed Episode 6, while adding more layers to her blossoming connection with Gibbs.

The CBS prequel series went undercover with Monday’s new episode, titled “Incognito,” while also putting the spotlight on the female Nis special agent played by Mariel Molino. It’s been established that Lala developed a special bond with Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) at this time in his life, but this hour focused on her mindset while navigating the toxic boys’ club within her workplace and feeling uneasy at home.

“With what we’ve filmed so far, her feelings toward Gibbs are starting to really get deeper, and that starts to get scarier for her,” Molino told TheWrap about what’s to come. “But it is evolving in a really lovely way because it’s coming...

How do you take an already ridiculously attractive cast like the stars of NCIS: Origins and make them even shinier? Throw them into formal wear and send them out for a night on the town.

That’s what “Incognito” is serving viewers in its promo. However, the main thing to take away is the clear spotlight on Special Agent Lala Dominguez.

Since the start of NCIS: Origins, fans have been eagerly awaiting to see when Lala and Gibbs’s stories would, shall we say, entangle. Her character also hasn’t been developed nearly as much as others.

Hopefully, now halfway through the premiere season of NCIS: Origins, the writers will connect the dots and explain how this is also “the story of her.” I can still hear Mark Harmon.

Last Rites Season 1 Episode 5 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “NCIS: Origins,” titled “Last Rites,” promises to take viewers deeper into the early days of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Set in the bustling environment of Camp Pendleton, this episode showcases Gibbs as he begins his journey as a special agent. The audience will witness the challenges and triumphs he faces as he integrates into the newly established NCIS office.

Gibbs finds himself among a diverse and unconventional team. Led by the experienced Mike Franks, the group is a mix of personalities that adds both tension and camaraderie. As Gibbs navigates his new role, he learns the ropes of being an agent in a world filled with both danger and complexity. The episode hints at the personal and professional struggles that shape his character, setting the stage for the legendary figure he becomes.

The NCIS franchise has continued its dynasty, striking more gold with NCIS: Origins.

In fact, the compelling prequel has scored a full-season order, to my absolute delight, at a time when the television landscape and its offerings seem bleak.

NCIS: Origins works for so many reasons: focusing on young Leroy Jethro Gibbs when NCIS still went by Nis, exploring his grief after the recent loss of his wife and daughter, and kickass ’90s needledrops.

But the thing about Origins is that it doesn’t feel like Gibbs’ show at all.

And shockingly, that’s the best thing about it.

The series manages to utilize the stalwart, most renowned character of the NCIS universe, Gibbs, as a Trojan Horse to tell Mike Franks’ story, and I love every damn second of it.

It’s an exciting day for NCIS: Origins fans. CBS has given the new drama an extended greenlight during its first season.

CBS originally ordered 13 episodes of NCIS: Origins, giving the drama a chance to succeed on Monday nights.

Having NCIS as a lead-in and working with familiar characters (like Young Gibbs and Young Mike Franks) has worked well.

The new show from the NCIS Universe is based in 1991, years before Mark Harmon began playing Gibbs on NCIS.

Sean Harmon’s idea was to do a prequel show, and he serves as an Executive Producer while his dad (Mark) narrates.

Sean played Young Gibbs during flashbacks on NCIS, but Austin Stowell now portrays the younger Leroy Jethro Gibbs on Origins.

CBS extends the first season order on NCIS: Origins

CBS announced that NCIS: Origins has now received a full-season order.

CBS has increased its order from 13 to 18 episodes, picking up additional content for this spring.

Mark Harmon is not a part of the NCIS cast, at least not on the screen anymore. He is still the voice of NCIS: Origins, as he is the narrator for the prequel series that shows how his character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, got his start with NCIS. However, Austin Stowell is now playing the younger version of the character.

Harmon is still a big part of the franchise and has a large say over what happens in the television series he helped turn into a juggernaut. Here is what you need to know.

Mark Harmon Still Has Control over NCIS Franchise

NCIS: Origins is the new franchise series that shows how Gibbs got his start with the law enforcement organization. However, since this is a prequel series, Mark Harmon is not starring as the character. Instead, he is narrating the episodes and setting up each individual storyline.

With that said,...

There will be no chilling out or calming down on NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 5. Someone has made the dire mistake of getting Mike Franks worked up in a bad way.

Long-time fans of the franchise are likely well aware of Mike’s gun-happy status, or “gun-ho” as it’s sometimes referred to. Get ready for a barrel-full.

Since the start of NCIS: Origins, the main focus has been on Gibbs and his struggle with losing his family. We’ve seen how the weight has taken its toll and broken his soul.

However, Gibbs isn’t the only NCIS character who gets a younger, shinier version of themselves. Then again, not every viewer has been so on board with the Gibbs casting.

NCIS: Origins Episode 4, titled "All’s Not Lost," continues to explore the backstory of NCIS Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and finally gives fans a glimpse of the fateful day that dramatically changed his life.

In this recently released episode, Gibbs helps the team in investigating a case involving a girl who went missing after witnessing a murder.

Could you imagine someone other than Mark Harmon playing Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the NCIS cast?

No, we aren’t talking about the Young Gibbs we have seen in flashbacks and on NCIS: Origins. We are talking about someone else nabbing the role on NCIS before Harmon got it.

Harmon starred as Gibbs on NCIS from 2003 until 2021. He left the show early in Season 19, and Gibbs was retired to Alaska.

Harmon also appears on NCIS: Origins, serving as the narrator and appearing in scenes where Gibbs writes a memorial about his exploits.

Actor Austin Stowell now plays the Young Gibbs on NCIS: Origin, taking the mantle from Sean Harmon, who had played Young Gibbs in NCIS flashbacks.

NCIS fans continue hoping that Gibbs (played by Harmon) will have a reason to resurface on the primary show in the future.

Who else could have played Gibbs on NCIS?

A fun report...

The excitement builds as “NCIS: Origins” airs its Season 1 Episode 5 titled “Last Rites” on November 4, 2024, at 11:00 Pm on CBS. This episode continues the journey of a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, who is just starting his career as a special agent at the new NCIS office in Camp Pendleton. Viewers will see how Gibbs begins to carve out his identity within a team that is both tough and unconventional, led by the seasoned Mike Franks.

In “Last Rites,” the stakes are high as Gibbs faces a challenging case that tests his skills and determination. The episode promises a mix of action and character development, showcasing the dynamics of the team and how they come together to solve crimes. As Gibbs navigates the complexities of his new role, he learns valuable lessons about trust, loyalty, and the weight of responsibility.

Fans of the NCIS franchise can expect a gripping storyline filled with suspense and emotional moments.

With the NCIS: Origins prequel, we’re seeing a Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) for whom the loss of his wife Shannon and daughter Kelley is still fresh. Over the first three episodes, we’ve gotten flashbacks as well as a heartbreaking sequence of Gibbs and Shannon in his truck talking about the rules. “All of those flashbacks, to me, are really tough days because it is, I guess, the representation that we all probably yearn for,” Stowell admits to TV Insider. “It’s a dream come to life, that so often we will dream about those who are gone. And when I’m performing those scenes, this is a reality at that point, I’m stepping into the dream and it’s really difficult to imagine those circumstances, to know that it will be gone afterward.” He continues, “It’s not like I jump out of that dream sequence...

Betty Gilpin’s Lina isn’t afraid to get creative in the bedroom — or in this case, the car.

In Episode 7 of Three Women, Starz’s adaptation of Lisa Taddeo’s bestselling nonfiction book, Lina gets crafty during her affair with her former high school flame, Aidan (played by NCIS: Origins’ Austin Stowell). The pair meet in a parking lot and things quickly get streamy in Lina’s four-door sedan, where viewers are treated to a kind of intimacy rarely seen on TV.

The hunt is on when NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 4 makes its way to the broadcast spectrum. At least we finally have something to focus on other than Gibbs.

Not that the character hasn’t led an exciting series. However, it seems like everyone has Gibbs on the brain lately. The man needs time and space to strategize, but we’ll get to that.

NCIS: Origins is finally getting grounded with some intense cases. If there is one thing that brings a team together under one goal, it’s finding a missing child.

Nothing gets adults moving faster than the thought of a small, innocent child snatched away from their parents. Maybe the team can finally function as a unit instead of one voice after another talking over each other.

Many viewers have commented that the team on NCIS: Origins lacks the same group effort that the sister series all have.

The new NCIS spinoff series NCIS: Origins is working to craft an authentic relationship between main characters Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his father Jackson Gibbs. However, some details depicted in Origins seem to stray from information given about the characters in the original NCIS series.

Origins portrays Gibbs and his father maintaining contact in the years after Gibbs’ wife and daughter are killed, which contradicts the original show suggesting the two had no contact for around 15 years after that tragedy. In a recent Origins episode, Jackson shows clear worry for his son’s wellbeing and even talks to Agent Mike Franks about removing Gibbs from dangerous field work. This depicts a level of ongoing involvement in each other’s lives that is inconsistent with their complete estrangement established previously.

An additional difference arises regarding when Jackson and Franks first met. While NCIS said this happened during a season 8 storyline, Origins...

There has been plenty of fat to chew on this week at MIPCOM in Cannes. The television industry is clearing a path forwards after a very difficult few years, and that route became clearer during the four-day confab. Below, we identify some of the key takeaways from the Croisette.

Squeezed Middle In Scripted

Channing Dungey

Conversations about the future of TV drama almost a year after the U.S. strikes ended dominated chatter at this year’s MIPCOM. What was being communicated to us was an extension of the ‘squeezed middle’ chat that dominated conversation in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. That confab’s chatter was focused on non-scripted, but these proclamations were concentrated on drama. Effectively, buyers are still looking for the odd splashy tentpole, maybe a buzzy limited series here and there, but are mainly beefing up catalogs with cheaper, higher-volume, bankable and returnable fare.

Nugget Is Dead? A Christmas Story

Thursday | Nov.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 3 “Bend, Don’t Break.”] One of the most iconic aspects of Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) from the original NCIS was him stopping the elevator. It doesn’t take long for the prequel, NCIS: Origins, to have Austin Stowell‘s younger version, to do that for the first time. The moment comes while Gibbs is questioning a suspect in a case—in the same episode that, following a conversation with his father, Jackson (Robert Taylor), Franks (Kyle Schmid) puts him on desk duty. By the end of the episode, Gibbs pushes back because the job is all he has left. Below, showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal talk about having Jackson and Franks meet, that elevator stop, and more.
