NCIS: Origins

The story Gibbs never told.

Created by Gina Lucita Monreal, David J. North

On CBS

A procedural prequel that grounds the NCIS franchise in 1990s military crime investigation, balancing case-of-the-week structure with origin-story character building.

In 1991, years prior to the events of NCIS, Leroy Jethro Gibbs starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks.
