“GIBBS. IS. BACK. 🚨 Mark Harmon Returns for the Most Anticipated NCIS Event in Television History”
It’s happening — and the NCIS fandom can barely contain itself. After years away from the screen, Mark Harmon is officially returning as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the character that defined a generation of television. This Veterans Day, the NCIS Universe will come together for an event unlike any other: NCIS: Origins — a once-in-a-lifetime crossover that promises secrets, nostalgia, and long-awaited answers about the man who became the soul of NCIS.For nearly two decades, Gibbs wasn’t just the leader of his team — he was the moral center of the entire franchise. His rules. His silence. His stare. His heart. When he left, it felt like the end of an era. But now, after years of quiet, the heartbeat of NCIS is about to echo again.
The Return That Shook the NCIS Universe
The announcement broke the internet. Fans across the world flooded social media with disbelief and joy. “Gibbs is home,” one tweet read. “The world feels right again,” said another. Within hours, hashtags like #GibbsIsBack, #NCISOrigins, and #WelcomeHomeGibbs trended globally.
CBS confirmed that Harmon’s return will anchor an unprecedented crossover between NCIS and its newest prequel series, NCIS: Origins — which dives into the early 1990s, following a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by Austin Stowell) as he begins his career with the Naval Investigative Service.
The crossover brings both timelines together for a single night of television that promises to explore the decisions, heartbreaks, and hard lessons that shaped Gibbs into the man who became the cornerstone of NCIS.
