In 2021, Mark Harmon said goodbye to NCIS after almost 19 years and no fewer than 418 episodes as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. This departure, which took place in the fourth episode of the 19th season, was clearly a turning point in the detective series, which saw the appearance of a new character, played by Gary Cole, at the head of the investigation team.
And after this pivotal episode, fans are hoping that the actor, who is still producing NCIS, will return to the detective series. A comeback that could happen in the upcoming 21st season…
Last September we learned of the death of David McCallum, who played Dr. Donald “Duck” Mallard. Season 21, which airs next February on CBS, should logically pay homage to this flagship character that defined NCIS.
Sean Murray and Brian Dietzen, as the last members of the original cast of the detective series, the producer may decide to bring back former actors such as Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly or even Cote de Pablo to say goodbye to the Duke name. .
He was asked about the possibility of reprising his role during the Q&A he hosted entertainment tonightMark Harmon said he knew nothing about it. gibbsHe’s probably fishing in a stream in Alaska“He joked.”Will it come out of the stream? I do not know. But if so, I don’t know“.
In turn, Stephen D. Binder, NCIS showrunner, explained TVLine Wants to remain in doubt as to what Gibbs is doing and where he is after leaving the team. “It’s a very interesting mystery.“, he said.
“A group of writers have a feeling – which I share – that we have left nowhere and everywhere at the same time. When I think of Gibbs, I can’t imagine him living in an apartment in Alaska. I’d rather imagine him turned into pixie dust and floating in the sky until he’s called back to his post..”
Now it remains to be seen if Mark Harmon will return for NCIS season 21 to pay tribute to Ducky. Answer in the coming months.
