The Origins half of the episode will feature the younger Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and the team investigating the small-town death of a naval officer in the ‘90s. The case will then get reopened in present day NCIS for Part 2.
After appearing in the pilot episode last year, this will be Mark‘s first on-screen return after playing the role for 18 years on the main series. (He also provides voiceover on the episodes.)
“Four years ago, Gibbs disappeared to Alaska to live a life of solitude. We know how much fans have missed seeing Mark and have wondered what Gibbs is up to today … We don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say Gibbs is no longer alone,” showrunners David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal teased in the official press release.
“I’m very proud of the storytelling that David and Gina are doing on Origins. They continue to push boundaries and dive deeper into the characters’ backstories. They came to me with an idea for Gibbs that I liked, and it seemed like a good time to check in with him. I hope fans enjoy it,” Mark said in a statement.
