[Warning: The below contains Major spoiler for NCIS: Origins Season 1 Episode 4 “All’s Not Lost.”] NCIS: Origins dives into a dark part of Gibbs’ (Austin Stowell) past, when he learned of his wife and daughter’s murders while overseas in Kuwait in flashbacks. It’s at this point that you see, Stowell tells TV Insider, “he’s trying to take his own life. He’s seen how fragile life is and of course, he knows that just taking himself out wouldn’t solve anything, that there has to be more out there. We’re all doing that all the time, and it doesn’t have to be circumstances like this. It can be that we’re working a job that we’re not so happy with or we’re in a relationship that we’re not sure if we’re in love with the person and we’re looking for more and it’s okay. That’s just the part ...

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.

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...

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.

[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. You’re telling this intriguing chapter of Gibbs and his father’s relationship—we know what we heard in the original series, but we’re...

One thing is for sure, the probie is not looking to make friends on NCIS: Origins. For that matter, he seems even less concerned with doing things by the book. Protocol be damned.
Even though the series follows the classic case-of-the-week format, it does an incredible job of integrating everything into the main plot.
Since the cat is more or less out of the bag, we can finally discuss a central plot point of NCIS: Origins. Don’t worry, though – I’ll save it for the end.

If there is one thing CBS is good at, it’s keeping audiences in the dark about what’s in store for NCIS: Origins. The promo doesn’t do much in terms of details, but there’s plenty of intensity.

For one, NCIS: Origins gives fans of the franchise a look into the back story of a series vet. That’s expected given the show’s premise.

The series’ real strength will be in how well the characters are developed. And since NCIS has been going strong for over twenty seasons, the pressure is on.

The NCIS: Origins series premiere was a fun surprise for long-time NCIS fans. The new prequel show aired its first two episodes on October 14, and the franchise took a new direction.
NCIS: Origins is set in 1991 and will tell stories about young Leroy Jethro Gibbs and young Mike Franks. NCIS fans know the duo well from the parent show, where their older version solved many cases.
Mark Harmon played Gibbs on NCIS; Austin Stowell now plays the younger Gibbs on NCIS: Origins. Sean Harmon (Mark’s son) used to play Gibbs in NCIS flashbacks, but he now serves as an executive producer of the prequel.
It seemed like Mark was done playing the character. Gibbs was retired to Alaska, and we last saw him bidding farewell to Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) after they enjoyed some fishing.

NCIS Origins has already proven itself to be a bit darker of a show than its predecessor. It also explores a much younger Leroy Gibbs who’s in a state fans aren’t used to seeing him in. But Gibbs’ angst was something the show’s star Austin Stowell could relate to, as he had his own real-life tragedies to overcome.

Fans knew that Gibbs would be a bit of a broken man way before the first episodes of Origins aired. Not only is Gibbs younger and less wise, but the character has also gone through a horrific family tragedy. Because of this, Gibbs doesn’t have the same level of temperament that he’ll earn after years of life experience. In real life, however, Stowell also dealt with the loss of someone close to him.

NCIS: Origins premiered this week, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs was back in a very different form. Instead of Mark Harmon playing the iconic role, Austin Stowell plays the character as he first joins NCIS as a probe himself, and starts his career. However, Stowell isn’t the first actor to play a young Gibbs, as Sean Harmon played the character in flashbacks on the main series.
Now, Mark Harmon is explaining why Sean didn’t return to the role in NCIS: Origins.
Why Mark Harmon’s Son Isn’t Gibbs In NCIS: Origins
In the original NCIS series, Mark Harmon’s son, Sean played the character of Gibbs in flashbacks to when he was a young NCIS officer. However, with the new series solely focused on Gibbs’ start at NCIS, the show chose to go with Bridge of Spies actor, Austin Stowell.

As Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs solved naval crimes across twenty seasons on NCIS, fans came to know him as a master investigator—tough yet thoughtful, always getting the bad guy. But what set him on that path? NCIS: Origins takes us back to 1991, when Gibbs was just starting out following a tragic past.
The newest entry in the hit NCIS franchise, Origins premiered last fall on CBS, transporting viewers to Camp Pendleton in 1991. Here we find Gibbs taking his first steps as a young agent, still grieving the loss of his wife and daughter. Helping show him the ropes is Mike Franks, a gruff but effective team leader.
Over the next few months, this review will pull back the curtain on Origins. We’ll examine the casting and characters, from Gibbs himself to fan favorites like Franks. Production values that bring 1991 to life will also be explored.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the NCIS: Origins series premiere “Enter Sandman.”] NCIS: Origins is telling a story about Leroy Jethro Gibbs that fans are completely in the dark about—and we start getting teases about that in the two-part opener. “It’s hard not to bring them home with you. it’s hard not to bring them everywhere with you. The stories go where you go. Stories that got cut short. It’s our job to tell those stories, no matter how much they took from us,” Gibbs says in the closing voiceover for the first episode. “It was our job to get to an end we could live with, to tell an ending of justice, no matter the cost. But this one wasn’t like the others. This is a story I don’t tell. This is the story of her.” The camera then ...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the NCIS: Origins series premiere “Enter Sandman.”] Going into NCIS: Origins, we knew that we’d be hearing Mark Harmon‘s voice as he narrated the prequel story of his character, now played by Austin Stowell. But a nice surprise was Harmon appearing onscreen in the series premiere. Harmon sitting by a campfire bookends the episode, as he explains, “My dad used to say, wherever you go, there you are. I guess he was right. No matter how hard you try, or in my case, how far you go, you can’t ever leave it all behind. There is no such thing as a clean slate. They’re always here. They’re always with you. The stories you’ve told. Hell, even worse, the ones you never could. This is a story I don’t tell.” “What you saw is exactly what we wanted to do,” co-showrunner David J. North tells TV Insider.

Spoiler Alert! This story contains details from the two-part premiere of NCIS: Origins on CBS.
The origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs has finally begun: CBS kicked off its much-anticipated prequel Monday from veteran NCIS writers-producers Gina Lucita Monreal and David J. North, as well as CBS Studios. And as promised, Mark Harmon returned to both narrate and to appear fireside as he journals about his life.
Here, Monreal and North breakdown the two-part premiere that follows a young Gibbs (Bridge of Spies‘ Austin Stowell) as he starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling Nis Camp Pendleton office.
Deadline How much does the average viewer of NCIS know about Leroy Gibbs?
Gina Lucita Monreal I think it varies, but our hardcore fans know a lot. We’re trying to strike a balance between those hardcore fans and hopefully new fans who know nothing. That’s the line we’re walking.

“NCIS: Origins” may not stray far from the DNA of its flagship, but the updates to the formula make revisiting Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ past a “darker” chapter for the beloved CBS franchise.
The new series turns the clock back to 1991, when Gibbs first joined NCIS as a special agent at Camp Pendleton. The two-hour premiere follows as the stoic agent steps into his own with a new team, while mourning the loss of his wife and daughter. Harmon narrates every episode, dropping insight into the mysterious character’s mindset for the first time — and dropping hints as to what may be coming next.
For co-showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal, the Gibbs-centered prequel series offered the right opportunity to tackle a more “character-centric” version of the crime procedural.

For a leading man in a massive series, Mark Harmon got to play Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs as a bit of a man of mystery on the “NCIS” franchise mothership series, at least up to the point that it had to exhaust whatever it was that put that haunted look in his baby blues. As portrayed by the actor over 22 seasons, Gibbs never did stop being the strong, taciturn type, but at the close of that tenure it didn’t feel like could possibly be much backstory left to mine, given the myriad flashbacks to the trauma that led the lawman to a seemingly permanent state of loner-dom. So when a prequel series for Gibbs was announced early this year, a series fan might’ve wondered: Is there any aspect of his pining for his dead wife and daughter that’s been left remotely unplummed?

The formula ain’t broke, and CBS’s latest addition to its beloved “NCIS” franchise, focused on young Agent Gibbs, doesn’t plan to fix it.
“NCIS” is one of the jewels in the crown of the CBS network. It’s a well-oiled machine of naval-related crime-solving that has remained one of the most-viewed shows on television for over two decades. The series that started it all way back in 2002 is 22 seasons in and has outlasted three of its four spin-offs. It only makes sense for the network to keep that good ship moving forward, even though surely they’ve run out of navy-specific murders to solve at this point. Maybe that’s why this new series is a prequel, focusing on the franchise’s original hero, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

In the role of former NCIS lead Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Mark Harmon is a tough act to follow. But it seems he found a worthy successor in NCIS: Origins star Austin Stowell. Harmon told People there was “heavy competition” for that lead part in the prequel series, which premieres on CBS tonight, Monday, October 14, at 10/9c. “There were a lot of good people,” the NCIS alum said. “I would say that there were really few who drew the attention Austin did.” In fact, Stowell made an impression with his presence alone, Harmon explained: “I felt the room jump a little when Austin came in, before he said anything. … He walked out [after the audition] and someone said, ‘I’ll just say it — that’s a movie star.’” Greg Gayne/CBS In NCIS: Origins, Stowell’s Gibbs “starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where...

That one hit us hard when Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), the sometimes grumpy but always gutsy special agent in charge of NCIS, unexpectedly retired to go fishing in Alaska in 2021. We’ll get another chance to appreciate the “grab your gear” guy in NCIS: Origins, a 1991-set prequel in which the young Gibbs (Austin Stowell) starts work at what was then known as Nis at the Camp Pendleton office in California. The icing? Harmon returns to narrate. “Mark Harmon has done a job that actors dream to do. He’s captured the world and so that is just slightly daunting,” says Stowell who watched numerous episodes to prepare. “But getting to know Mark has really been paramount to me stepping into these shoes and trying to fill them.” Harmon’s key words of advice to Stowell were “trust yourself.” Harmon also...
