Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) will continue to learn how to hone his instincts at NIS. CBS has renewed NCIS: Origins for Season 2, set to premiere in the 2025/2026 TV season. This renewal is one of the nine made at the network, with flagship series NCIS and the Australia set spinoff NCIS: Sydney also being renewed for one additional season. NCIS: Origins has continued to deliver stellar ratings for CBS, delivering 9.2 million viewers, with streaming alone up +72% year over year from the now-canceled NCIS: Hawai’i. Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, lauded these renewals, saying:
“This season, our new and returning series continue to showcase CBS as the leader in launching and programming the biggest hits with mass appeal for broadcast and streaming viewers. These returning shows represent a mix of long-standing hits and a new generation of fan favorites.

Gina Lucita Monreal is an executive producer and showrunner on NCIS: Origins. She previously discussed the show’s renewal and revealed the creative team was on board for more because it is “something special.” “I do know that CBS and Paramount are in it for the long haul, so we just try to keep our heads down and write as good of material as possible. And this cast, they’re fantastic, they really are. I think we have something special here, and I hope everybody comes on board,” she told TV Line. Everybody is on board now!
NCIS: Origins begins in 1991 and follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs, years before the events of NCIS, and is narrated by Mark Harmon. In the series, “Gibbs starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid).” Other cast members include Mariel Molino (Lala Dominguez), Tyla Abercrumbie (Mary Jo Hayes), Diany Rodriguez (Vera Strickland), and Caleb Foote (Bernard “Randy” Randolf). Foote was recently upgraded to a series regular. David J. North, Mark Harmon, and Sean Harmon are executive producers.
New episodes of NCIS: Origins air on CBS on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET and are available to stream on Paramount+ the following day.
