There Are Other Spinoffs In The Works, Too
To date, there are sixNCISspinoffs:Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hawai’i, Sydney, Origins,and the upcomingTony & Zivaoffshoot.Origins, however, is the first spinoff to be set in the past, and it will center on one of the show’s most beloved characters. While Harmon is not returning, Stowell has the opportunity to give Gibbs new dimensions as he explores the early years of the character’s career and how he came to be one of the most prolific members ofNCIS.
With the show still seeing massive success all these years later, though, it seems that CBS may seize the opportunity to expand the universe further, especially ifNCIS: Originsdoes well.
Despite the focus on Gibbs, though, his teammates are just as important as the dynamic of variousNCIS members,which is something that people come back for. Franks is but one of thereturning characters inNCIS: Origins.
