BREAKING: CBS has just announced that Dwayne Pride, portrayed by Scott Bakula, is making a thrilling return to the NCIS franchise in a brand-new prequel series titled NCIS: Origins. This surprising development occurs just four years after the conclusion of NCIS: New Orleans, and fans are buzzing with excitement!
The network is actively casting for a younger version of Pride, who will be depicted as a newly-minted Probationary Special Agent in the NIS Panama office during the early ’90s. This pivotal storyline will showcase the complexities of Pride’s past, particularly his relationship with Leroy Jethro Gibbs, played by Mark Harmon, as they must confront unresolved conflicts while working undercover on a critical case.
NCIS: Origins will dive into the origins of key characters within the NCIS universe, set against the backdrop of 1992, a year that precedes the original series. The show aims to explore the dynamics of the iconic Fed Five, a group of elite NIS agents, including Gibbs and Pride, who operated together in the early ’90s. This new series promises to reveal significant details about their shared history and the missions that shaped their careers.
As the first prequel in the NCIS franchise, NCIS: Origins has already introduced characters like Young Ducky, played by Adam Campbell, and Young Lara Macy. The focus on younger versions of beloved characters is expected to resonate with long-time fans while drawing in new audiences.
What makes this announcement even more compelling is the ongoing interest in how the show will navigate the tension between Gibbs and Pride, which has long been hinted at in previous NCIS storylines. The urgency of their past conflicts adds emotional depth to the series, promising a rich narrative filled with suspense and intrigue.
CBS has confirmed that the NCIS: Origins season is slated to showcase the early days of Gibbs as he navigates his role within a dynamic and unconventional team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks. The show will highlight the challenges and triumphs of their missions, all while balancing weekly cases at Camp Pendleton.
As anticipation builds for this exciting revival, viewers are eager to see how Pride’s story will unfold. The show has a limited time frame to explore the events that transpired between 1992 and 1994, making it crucial for the writers to deliver compelling narratives that honor the legacy of the characters.
