Gibbs is calling in old friends. Muse Watson, Roma Maffia and Joe Spano will reprise their NCIS roles opposite Mark Harmon in Season 3 of CBS' NCIS: Origins, Deadline reported.
Each will appear in a separate episode set in the show's present-day timeline:
Muse Watson as Mike Franks in Episode 306, airing Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 10 p.m.
Roma Maffia as Vera Strickland in Episode 307, airing Dec. 1
Joe Spano as Tobias Fornell in Episode 308, airing Dec. 8
Helping Gibbs solve his biggest mystery
The returning characters arrive as Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs tries to find out who was behind the attempt on his life in Alaska, and to stop them before they reach the next person on their list.
Watson and Maffia previously brought back Franks and Vera in a 2025 crossover between NCIS: Origins and NCIS. The new guest spots join the previously announced returns of Michael Weatherly and Emily Wickersham this season.
The franchise has been leaning into reunions this season. Cup of Soul also covered LL Cool J's return to NCIS.
