Leroy Jethro Gibbs is back on our TV screens thanks to NCIS: Origins, but he’s understandably not being played by Mark Harmon (aside from some brief scenes in the two-part premiere).
NCIS: Origins takes place several months after Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ wife Shannon and daughter Kelly were killed by a drug dealer named Pedro Hernandez.
New episodes of NCIS: Origins air Mondays at 10 pm ET on CBS, and can be streamed afterwards with a Paramount+ subscription.
While Gibbs assassinated Hernandez soon after, the loss of his wife and daughter obviously still weigh heavy on him.
