“We always had a general idea of ​​where we were going and we wondered if we wanted to end the episode on the Gibbs [and] Macy Story or when we felt that it was better to end in the Sandman secret, because that was our other big engine this season, ”recalled Monreal. So we decided to end the season sheet with Sandman first and then enter the history of the Macy in the final.”

North noticed that it was important that Gibbs and Lala's romance were in the center and added: “We wanted to tell this series against all opportunities love stories element. We always broke the season as if we were getting a full season for a full season [the] Glass half full people. “

NCIS: origins Relaxed less than a year after Gibbs had been killed 'first wife and daughter. During the first season, Gibbs started a new job as a specialist agent in the NIS Camp Pendleton office, while he was still dealing with the consequences of the loss of his family.

“It was really our ultimate goal from the start to make a show that the fans of the original show were right from the start. [it is] Also [a show] that new spectators can come in from the start NCIS: origins“, Explained Monreal. From this point of view we always addressed it. I have the feeling that we were successful.”

She continued: “We are very interested in staying on Canon [events]. We are strict. We want to pay respect for the mother ship. We both wrote about the mother ship and love this show. But we also love to branch in our new characters and dig into their emotional life. “

While Stowell Gibbs plays on a timeline Ncis: origins, Harmon appears as today's Gibbs in the pre -quel mainly via Voice -Over. The executing producers praised Harmon as a “super collaborative” both on and outside the screen.

“He is always really available to us, which was simply a gift during this entire process. He was there during our pages during the casting and comes to carpentry,” said Monreal with Us. “I have a wonderful opportunity to be with him when he records the Voice -over and he has made it available to all actors. He is always open to questions and conversations. So we were so lucky that he was so present and supportive on the way.”

North opened up that Harmon's stamp for this chapter of Gibbs' journey benefits: “I will be honest, he is a hard guy to win. But because he has a high bar from what he wants – Gina and I are lucky to have worked hard and do a lot of work for him, and we have convinced him by this time and we love him.”

He added: “I think the feeling is mutually and that was the biggest project. I know that he says this for him and safe for me. He is always a call away and he gives absolutely inputs that influence what you see in this show. But in the end he said:” You are the team I wanted and what you do, what you do. “

Scroll further for answers to the biggest questions before season 2:

Is Lala dead?

The first season ended with the fact that Lala's car turned, but we hope that it is not dead.

“We cannot promise that [Lala is alive] But we can promise that you will receive an answer if you come back in season 2 ” Us. “When we got involved, we wanted to take big swings. Mariel knew that we would get involved in the fact that we would take big swings, and she was on board to do the best to feel something in a truthful way. That is what we do.”

North guaranteed that the second season would give an “answer” on whether Lala is alive or whether it was killed in the accident.

Where is Gibbs' romance transferred with Lala?

Despite the possible death of Lala, North and Monreal of the Fan interest on Lala and Gibbs' possible romance are aware.

“I love the fact that we are not used to seeing Gibbs in this kind of situation, and the audience to root a love story. It feels as real as he lost his family and had a friend – but they cannot control the electricity,” said North. “We cannot choose who we have feelings for. From the moment they met, we can only see that he was beaten.”

He added: “At that time in his life, I had a lot of fun writing. I know that Mark Harmon really enjoyed it and he told Gina, and I repeat how much he loves this element of the show. So it was a lot of fun.”

What does Gibbs mean for the second season?

Based on the OG seasons of NCISThe spectators know that Gibbs had a total of four women: Shannon, Diane, Rebecca and Stephanie. The real estate agent, who introduced himself in Gibbs at the end of the episode, is indeed the next partner of Gibbs.

“We do not yet know Lala's fate, but on canon – depending on the time when we are in time – when Diane comes into the picture,” teased Monreal. “We always approach these things – because they seem like great challenges – how we will write it in the wall carpet of our history. But in the end it is always a plus to find out how we can weave these stories together.

Will season 2 introduce Frank's brother?

“The interesting part of Frank's brother is that I think it was just a dialogly line in which Franks made a joke about having a brother [in NCIS]. So we took it and built this brother character, ”said Monreal with Us. “We have a story to tell there and it is wide open. This is exciting for us because we are usually used to really fenced with these characters. So we are really excited.”

Does Randy actually go?

“We can't get enough Randy. So there will be no shortage of Randy in season 2,” confirmed North. “But he fights with something. Many of these agents and police officers do difficult if they have a family and it's a dangerous job. So he fights with it. But we can promise that there will be no shortage of Randy.

Where does season 2 go?

According to Monreal, the “Formula similar” becomes like in season 1.

“We will have a great overriding action. We will have our case of the week, but we also hope to do these really special episodes that we were so enthusiastic about this season,” she said. “We had episode 10, which was the first NCIS of a franchise company that made an episode without any circumstances. So we really hope that we will take these big swings and continue to do so in season 2 and explore all the different types of stories that we can know and love within the parameters of the show.”

Nord praised CBS for approval NCIS: origins Take risks.

“It's fun when you get into the writer's room and can say:” Hey, we don't really have to stick to the rules that we are used to. Just let us do something special. “As long as it is something special, he continued while MONREAL was added:” We have an incredible group of actors with whom we work with each of them.

While Monreal and North could explore everything they had planned in season 1, there is an idea that they want to expand.

“Special agent Gary Callahan or K-9 special agent-we could have got more from him there. So we need more flashbacks,” joked North. “Maybe that's the next spinoff. Ncis: Gary Callahan.”

Will the Prequel ever stray from the canon?

“So far canon NCIS where there are contradictions. In certain places we have to create a way, but with so many characters that we have created that do not come from the mother ship, it is really fun to see how they are interwoven in Gibbs', detailed North. “[We have strayed from canon] In certain cases with Ruth alias the landlord to fill a huge hole in the way NCIS. These are the things we really enjoy. “

Could today's scenes indicate the end?

Here at UsThere was a theory that today's Gibbs tells the story of Lala before they later connect again in life to finally explore a relationship. The NCIS: origins Creators have not excluded the possibility – including.

“We never never say. We are open to all the strands of action. So we would like to exceed the limits of the canon in which we write,” said Monreal. “But as David said, we are really strict that we stick to what is there, but we never say with such story opportunities.”

North said to Us That the idea is “not too far out there” and adds: “We talked about how we end up this season and how potentially a big step in the future would affect. So we have a lot of balls in the air and we only try to further juggle here.”
