Fans of NCIS have spoken: no matter how the franchise evolves, nothing quite replaces Mark Harmon’s iconic portrayal of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Since his departure from the main series, viewers have been eager for more of the character who embodied the heart and soul of the show for nearly two decades. While NCIS: Origins has sparked excitement by exploring the franchise’s backstory, it has only heightened the longing to see Harmon return, perhaps in a series that delves into Gibbsβ life beyond his tenure at NCIS.
The prospect of a spin-off centered solely on Gibbs is a thrilling idea for fans. Whether chronicling his early days as a Marine sniper or his peaceful retirement in Alaska, such a series would offer countless opportunities to deepen our understanding of this beloved character. With Harmon’s masterful performance and undeniable presence, a project like this could reignite the passion of long-time NCIS viewers and provide Gibbs with the continuationβor closureβhe truly deserves.
