NCIS Fans Concerned About Franchise’s Future Amid Recent Changes
NCIS fans are expressing concerns about the franchise’s direction, especially after recent decisions have reshaped the NCIS universe in unexpected ways. The official cancellation of one of its most successful spinoffs, NCIS: Hawai’i, has left many disappointed. Despite efforts to compensate with two new series, the response has been mixed.
A major point of contention is the introduction of NCIS: Origins, a new show focusing on the early life of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the franchise’s most iconic figure. While some fans are excited, others feel that another series centered on Gibbs is unnecessary. The original NCIS show already explored many aspects of his life over 19 seasons.
On Reddit, a thread dedicated to NCIS: Origins sparked a heated discussion about the show’s relevance. Many fans agree that the franchise has delved deeply enough into Gibbs’ story. However, one comment suggested a way for NCIS: Origins to capture interest: by including prequels for other beloved characters like Vance, Ducky, DiNozzo, and Shepard, alongside Gibbs’ story.
This idea gained traction, with fans believing that exploring the backstories of multiple characters could provide a fresh perspective and keep the series engaging. While some remain skeptical, there’s a glimmer of hope that NCIS: Origins could offer more than just another look at Gibbs.
NCIS: Origins is set to premiere on CBS this fall, and fans will soon see if it meets their expectations.
