Mark Harmon hasn’t faded from our TV screens after all.
CBS says he’ll appear — at least a bit — in every episode of next season’s “NCIS: Origins” (shwon here). That’s in a two-era story, going from the 1990s to modern times.
Harmon did 18 seasons of “NCIS,” departing as his character (Leroy Jethro Gibbs) dropped out to live in the Alaskan wilderness.
Then came “Origins,” showing Gibbs’ early years in what’s now the NCIS. Harmon narrates, but has been on-camera only twice — in the opener and in a crossover that started a mystery on “Origins” and solved it on “NCIS.”
Now that same approach — a mystery from the ’90s, confronted three decades later — will span the new “Origins” season.
“Enter Sandman” – NCIS: ORIGINS follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) in 1991, years prior to the events of NCIS, and is narrated by Mark Harmon. In the series, Gibbs starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid), on the series premiere of NCIS: ORIGINS, Monday, Oct. 14 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. Series also stars Mariel Molino as Special Agent Lala Dominguez, Tyla Abercrumbie as Field Operation Support Officer Mary Jo Sullivan, and Diany Rodriguez as Special Agent Vera Strickland.
