Showrunner opens up about NCIS: Origins

Speaking in a recent interview with TVLine, NCIS: Origins co-showrunner David J. North spoke at length about the CBS show. When asked about the time-jumping structure of the prequel, North commented:

"Certainly in the near future, there are opportunities for flashbacks. “Blue Bayou” kind of wraps up the Gibbs flashback origin story about joining NIS, then we’re doing a handoff when we come back and seeing a lot of Mike Franks. Let’s just say he has a lot of cowboy hippie in him! We’re staying really true to the character, and it’s a lot of fun stuff."

Speaking about his hopes for the prequel's potential second season, North mentioned:

"We’re really proud of what we’re making, and the goal is always, obviously, to get as many eyes on it as possible. I know that we’re doing well on Paramount+; after we air, the following day we’re always in the Top 10. 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."

NCIS: Origins airs exclusively on CBS.
