A behind-the-scenes image has revealed the title of NCIS: Origins episode 1. The spinoff prequel show is set to follow the younger years of Mark Harmon’s long-running NCIS character Leroy Jethro Gibbs, who recently departed the flagship program midway through season 19 in 2021. While Harmon will return as the narrator of the upcoming NCIS: Origins, the younger version of the character will be played by Austin Stowell, who will be surrounded by an ensemble cast that includes Mariel Molino, Kyle Schmid, Tyla Abercrumbie, and Diany Rodriguez.
On her official Instagram account, Mariel Molino shared a story celebrating the fact that production is kicking off on the upcoming CBS series, which is set to debut as part of the network’s 2024-2025 season alongside the returning shows NCIS (for season 22) and NCIS: Sydney (for season 2). The image Molino shared depicts her touching her script for the first episode of the season, which is titled “Enter Sandman.” See a screenshot of the story below:
