Mark Harmon is set to reprise his role in NCIS: Origins, exploring his character’s early days within the organization. Fans might also see Harmon return in NCIS Season 21, particularly in a poignant episode dedicated to David McCallum’s character, Ducky Mallard.
Following McCallum’s passing, CBS plans to honor the cherished medical examiner-turned-historian with a special episode. The storyline will revolve around the team solving a case Ducky was working on before his death.
Given Gibbs’ long-standing friendship with Ducky, it’s fitting that he will attend Ducky’s planned funeral. Harmon’s return in this context will be a respectful tribute, focusing on paying his respects without overshadowing the narrative.
Gibbs’ appearance will be a solemn one, honoring his old friend without the need for extensive interaction with other characters, including Tim McGee. The episode will center on Gibbs’ tribute to his dear friend, offering a respectful farewell.
