NCIS’ Mark Harmon Spinoff Will Finally Show A Dark Gibbs Story First Revealed 18 Years Ago
The newly-announced NCIS prequel spinoff with Mark Harmon will finally show Gibbs’ darkest storyline almost two decades since it was introduced.
Mark Harmon’s upcoming NCIS prequel spinoff will finally delve into Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ darkest storyline, specifically the murder of his wife and daughter.
The prequel will take place in the early ’90s, during Gibbs’ time stationed at Camp Pendleton, which coincides with the tragic event.
The death of Gibbs’ family sets a dark tone for the NCIS prequel, potentially making it darker than the original series.
Mark Harmon’s upcoming NCIS prequel spinoff will finally show Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ darkest storyline 18 years after it debuted. More than two years since he left the CBS police procedural, the actor is slated to return to the franchise — this time, in a slightly different manner. Instead of playing his iconic role on the screen, Harmon is set to narrate the NCIS prequel that tackles Gibbs’ early days as a member of the organization. He will produce the project with his son, Sean Harmon, who once played a younger version of Gibbs in the main show.
Harmon exited in NCIS season 19, but like many cast departures from the series, the CBS show has left the door open for his potential return. Instead of being killed off, Gibbs simply decided to walk away from the job, opting to stay in Alaska and pursue his passion for fishing. Throughout Harmon’s time in NCIS, the weekly cases were intertwined with personal arcs, including Gibbs’. Despite his closed-off demeanor, it established some big moments in his life — some of them were quite tragic. Considering the premise of the new NCIS offshoot, it has the chance to properly tell arguably his most harrowing experience.
