Mark Harmon Speaks Out as CBS Shocks Fans With Major ‘NCIS’ News
In a twist of events we never saw coming, Mark Harmon is officially making his way back into the NCIS universe.
It’s been four years since we last saw Mark portray Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the CBS drama, with fans continuing to hope for his return every single week. And while he is an executive producer and narrator on the spinoff series NCIS: Origins (Austin Stowell plays a younger Gibbs on that show), it’s just not the same as seeing Mark on TV in real-time! But trust the hit TV franchise to hear fans’ cries for more Mark, because they seriously delivered with an announcement that’ll leave everyone absolutely shook.
“Four years ago, Gibbs disappeared to Alaska to live a life of solitude,” said co-showrunners and executive producers David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal in an official statement. “We know how much fans have missed seeing Mark and have wondered what Gibbs is up to today. Well, on Nov. 11, we’re so excited to announce that Mark Harmon will return as Leroy Jethro Gibbs in the Origins hour of the NCIS crossover event. We don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say Gibbs is no longer alone.”
When fans learned Mark would be making a grand return to the NCIS franchise, they immediately couldn’t hold back their elation for the prospect.
