The NCIS prequel is delving into the origins of one of Gibbs’ (Austin Stowell) important relationships in his future, with Shea Buckner coming in as young Dwayne Pride, who will one day lead the New Orleans office in his own spinoff (played by Scott Bakula). Mark Harmon‘s narration on that episode should especially be notable.

When NCIS: Origins introduces Pride in a 2026 episode, the former Sheriff’s Deputy is a newly minted Probationary Special Agent from the NIS Panama office. He and Gibbs share history, and they have to figure out a way to deal with their past tension while undercover on a case. The episode will also include the rest of the Fed Five, made famous by the Privileged Killer case that was the focus of the “Crescent City” episodes of NCIS that served as the New Orleans backdoor pilot: Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid, an Origins regular), Felix Betts (Adam Kulbersh), and Dan McLane (Mark Deklin).
