Following its debut, NCIS: Origins will move to a 10 p.m. timeslot, and the OG NCIS will move to 9 p.m. Once the two NCISs move to these timeslots the following week of their premieres, two sitcoms will be in CBS’s 8 p.m. (ET) timeslot for Mondays, which include, The Neighborhood, Season 7 and the premiere of Poppa’s House, which stars Damon Wayans.

NCIS: Origins: What Fans Can Expect
NCIS: Origins will center around Leroy Jethro Gibbs, circa 1991, when he enters his career as a new agent at the California NCIS Camp Pendleton office. The team he is on is led by Mike Franks, another major character from the NCIS mothership show.
Origins will begin after the tragic events surrounding the death of Jethro Gibbs’ first wife, Shannon, and his daughter, Kelly. For fans that recall, the two died in an automobile crash caused by Pedro Hernandez, a drug dealer.
Origins will take a similar approach to the show, Young Sheldon, where Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons acted as a narrator retelling his character’s younger years. While actor Austin Stowell will enter the role of a young Gibbs, Mark Harmon will return to do voiceovers.
