The NCIS universe expanded with the addition of NCIS: Origins to the CBS Fall 2024-2025 schedule, which is an origins story set in 1991 of not just Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) but also his NCIS mentor and friend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid).
The good news came from CBS that it has given the greenlight to continue telling those stories in a second season and the cases that the two men handle out of the Camp Pendleton (California) NIS office this coming fall 2025-2026.
“We are so happy that NCIS: Origins has been so well received by both longtime NCIS fans and franchise newcomers,” co-showrunners Gina Lucita Monreal and David J. North told Parade. “We’re thrilled to be returning for a second season and can’t wait to tell more incredible stories of Gibbs, Franks, Lala, and the rest of the team with the superbly talented actors who play them.”
Here’s everything we know about NCIS: Origins Season 2 to date.
