It’s time for the return of NCIS: Origins.
The new show has been on an extended hiatus since early February, but the break is ending.
NCIS: Origins is a prequel show for the NCIS Universe that tells stories about a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his former co-workers.
CBS has aired 13 episodes of the new drama (so far), with more to come this spring.
The bad news is that there are only 18 first-season episodes. Its first season finale hits in late April. That could sneak up on fans who missed the show during its hiatus.
The good news is that CBS ordered a second season that will arrive next year. It gives fans something to look forward to during the long summer hiatus.
When does NCIS: Origins return with a new episode?
NCIS: Origins returns on Monday, March 24. A new episode debuts at 10/9c on CBS.
Don’t forget to tune in on Monday night if you have been watching something else during recent weeks.
NCIS Season 22 also has a new episode that night (debuting at 9/8c). The episode features a character we haven’t seen since Season 20.
