The “NCIS: Origins” Narrator: Is it a Confession?

In the new prequel series NCIS: Origins, Mark Harmon doesn’t just narrate; he appears as “Modern Day Gibbs” in Alaska. The 2026 “long rumor” among the fan community is that this narration is actually a series of recordings or a book Gibbs is writing before he dies.

Fans have noticed that Harmon’s voice is unusually emotional, often sounding like a man seeking forgiveness for his past “sins” and “rules.” The rumor suggests that the series finale of Origins will feature a final, on-screen scene where a 75-year-old Harmon reunites with a character from his past (possibly a de-aged version of his late wife, Shannon) in a “spiritual” conclusion to the Gibbs saga.
