“Would we do that if the opportunity came forward?”: CBS is Sitting on a Goldmine If They Turn Mark Harmon’s Book into an NCIS Origin Story Movie

Mark Harmon, best known for his iconic role as Leroy Jethro Gibbs on NCIS, has ventured into the world of publishing with a new book, Ghosts of Honolulu: A Japanese Spy, A Japanese American Spy Hunter, and the Untold Story of Pearl Harbor. The book, co-written with real-life NCIS Special Agent Leon Carroll Jr., delves into the fascinating history of espionage surrounding Pearl Harbor and the early days of NCIS (then known as the Office of Naval Intelligence).

When asked if he’d like to see the book adapted into a movie or series, Harmon remained humble, stating, “I don’t think like that. I just focus on doing the work at hand.” However, he acknowledged the potential for more stories to be told, teasing that if the opportunity arose, a series or movie adaptation could be a possibility.

The book not only uncovers the dramatic history of intelligence operations but also honors the dedication of people like Carroll, who spent their lives serving the intelligence community. With NCIS being such a hit, it’s easy to imagine CBS turning Ghosts of Honolulu into a captivating series or film.

NCIS is bringing back a major franchise character-and it might finally give fans the long-awaited update on Hetty Lange. The NCIS universe has shrunk in recent years, with the end of NCIS: Los Angeles and the surprise 2024 cancellation of NCIS: Hawaii. A 2023 crossover reunited characters across shows, and NCIS: Hawaii even brought in LL Cool J’s Sam Hanna for a recurring role. Now, Hanna’s return is confirmed again-this time to the flagship NCIS series. When Is Sam Hanna Returning? LL Cool J will play Sam Hanna in NCIS Season 22, Episode 18, which airs on Monday, April 21, according to TVLine and the actor’s Instagram. While the plot is yet unknown, Hanna will most likely be assisting on a case, bringing his trademark approach to the mix. Fans are hoping that the episode will provide closure on the Hawaii cliffhanger in which Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) confronted a menacing old mentor. But the biggest opportunity here? Addressing Hetty Lange’s fate. What Happened to Hetty? Linda Hunt’s iconic Hetty was largely absent during NCIS: Los Angeles’s final seasons due to health concerns during the pand3mic. The finale hinted at a rescue mission, with Callen and Hanna heading overseas to find her-but viewers never saw what happened next. Bringing Hanna into NCIS could finally put an end to that tale. While Hunt may not appear onscreen, an update on Hetty’s whereabouts would provide long-term admirers with much-needed closure. As NCIS continues to honor its shared universe, this guest spot might just tie up one of the franchise’s last major loose ends.
