Mark Harmon has responded to speculation about his return to NCIS, indicating that there are no plans for it at the moment. He compared his character Leroy Gibbs to potentially fishing in Alaska, suggesting uncertainty about Gibbs leaving his “stream.”
While showrunner Steve Binder hinted at the possibility of Harmon’s return, he emphasized the importance of staying true to the characters in the show’s narrative. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Harmon’s future on NCIS, the franchise recently expanded with the premiere of a new spin-off series, NCIS: Sydney.
