The “Alaska Paradox”: A Gibbs Solo Project?

Perhaps the most persistent rumor in Hollywood right now is the development of a limited event series focused on Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ life in Alaska. Following his guest appearance in the NCIS/Origins crossover event in November 2025—which revealed that “Gibbs is no longer alone” in the wilderness—fan demand for a modern-day update has reached a fever pitch

​While Harmon has remained coy, he recently stated in an interview that “anything is possible if the story is right.” Production veterans suggest that if the project moves forward, it would likely be a 6-to-8 episode “prestige” series on Paramount+, focusing on a more introspective, character-driven narrative rather than the standard “case-of-the-week” format.
