NCIS: Origins is an American television series, and the sixth installment in the NCIS franchise. It is a prequel to the original series, starting in 1991, and focusing on the early investigative career of the show's original protagonist Leroy Jethro Gibbs centering around his years as a Probationary NIS Agent while still processing the trauma of the murder of his wife and daughter.

Synopsis

[edit]

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 NIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid).[1]
