As NCIS: Origins continues to inform Gibbs’ origin story and the story of “her,” followers are studying a lot concerning the agent’s background, and they’ll proceed to take action when the second half of Season 1 begins airing on the 2025 TV schedule. Between studying extra about his household, assembly Franks for the primary time, and even his notorious guidelines and fishing, followers are attending to know a lot extra about him. Nonetheless, there’s nonetheless one factor that the producer is holding off on revealing…for now.
After all, the Gibbs-centered prequel tells the story of the character pre-NCIS, which means followers are actually seeing the nitty gritty previous of Leroy Jethro Gibbs that they solely acquired a quick have a look at within the Mothership sequence. Solely 10 episodes in, and Origins has completed a reasonably good job of telling this origin story too, together with bringing again another acquainted characters who’ve formed Gibbs. Nonetheless, there are nonetheless plenty of issues followers need to see the origins for, together with the agent’s pastime that was fairly large on NCIS.
Fortunately, co-showrunner David J. North instructed TV Insider that rather more can be on the best way:
Oh, I feel we’ll simply have to remain tuned. There’s going to be quite a bit. I feel that we planted the seed actually with even constructing the birdhouse with Gibbs, however we nonetheless haven’t gotten into precisely the place the boat constructing got here from and issues of that nature.
Anybody who watched NCIS is aware of that Gibbs engaged on boats was a ardour challenge of his — it was one thing that appeared to take his thoughts off of every part else. Nobody is aware of when he took up the pastime or why he began doing it, and Origins will surely be the proper place to handle these questions. Fortunately, because the new present is doing fairly effectively following a full-season order, there must be loads of time to reply stated query and see him engaged on his boats.
That being stated, NCIS: Origins continues to be very early on, and there’s nonetheless a lot to study Gibbs and everybody else at NIS. There’s solely a lot that may be proven in a single episode and it’s not such as you need every part to be answered in a single sitting.
It’s been enjoyable already seeing what Gibbs was like within the ‘90s after dropping his spouse and daughter and the way some traditional Gibbs-isms got here to be. And I am unable to wait to ultimately see when and why he takes up his beloved pastime.
With Origins on break till the New 12 months, followers should wait to see what occurs with Gibbs’ origin story and whether or not or not the boat factor can be addressed. Nonetheless, that wait will not be lengthy, because the present returns to CBS on January 27. Plus, within the meantime, all episodes are streaming with a Paramount+ subscription.
