deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Patrick Fischler (American Fiction) & Julian Black Antelope (Prey) have been tapped for recurring roles in NCIS: Origins, CBS’ prequel to the venerable procedural, which has a straight-to-series order for the 2024-2025 broadcast season.
Austin Stowell, Mariel Molino, Kyle Schmid, Tyla Abercrumbie and Diany Rodriguez star in the CBS Studios-produced series executive produced and narrated by Mark Harmon.
Origins begins in 1991, years prior to the events of NCIS, and chronicles Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ younger years.
