In order to further capitalize on its popularity, the\u00a0<em>NCIS<\/em>\u00a0franchise\u00a0spinoff started to expand, starting with\u00a0<em>NCIS: Los Angeles\u00a0<\/em>and then,\u00a0<em>NCIS: New Orleans<\/em>. Admittedly, the southern-set franchise did not have the same prestige as its parent series, but it made the universe richer thanks to Gibbs\u2019 connection to Scott Bakula\u2019s Dwayne &#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0seven-season\u00a0<em>NCIS: New Orleans<\/em>\u00a0debuted via backdoor pilot that had Gibbs and Pride reunite for a case that had ties to their collective past. It was revealed that they used to work together alongside Mike Franks. Dubbed the Fed Five, they were among the highly-accomplished NIS agents in the early \u201990s. Now, CBS is revisiting that story via\u00a0<em>NCIS: Origins \u2014\u00a0<\/em>the universe\u2019s first-ever prequel, which tackled Gibbs\u2019 early years with the agency, which would include his time with the specialized group of NIS agents.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4301\" src=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1773760807485-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1773760807485-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/ncisnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1773760807485.jpg 581w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>CBS (via\u00a0<em>TVPromos<\/em>) has officially released the trailer for<em>\u00a0NCIS: Origins\u00a0<\/em>season 2, episode 11, \u201cFeelin\u2019 Alright?,\u201d offering the first look at young Dwayne Pride. Shea Buckner is joining the roster of new actors taking over established characters in the franchise, as he brings to life the new version of King in the prequel. Watch the video below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"adsninja-injected-repeatable-ad-afterend\">Per the official synopsis for the outing, the upcoming case will see Franks\u2019 team tackle a potential connection to an international smuggling ring. This is why NIS Panama agents are called in to offer some help, including Pride, who is supposedly also a newly-minted Probationary Special Agent in the agency but in a different camp. As seen in the clip, flashbacks of their earlier meeting include a brawl, and it\u2019s clear that their conflict continues into their reunion at Camp Pendleton.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival of Buckner\u2019s young Pride is part of a larger narrative that sets up the eventual activities of Fed Five. Rounding up the team were Franks, Felix Betts, and Dan McLane. With\u00a0<em>NCIS: Origins<\/em> season 3 now officially confirmed, the prequel has enough time to properly show their activities. As it is, there\u2019s no more room to do their supposed legendary pursuits justice, simply because there are only a handful of episodes left in the\u00a02025-2026 TV cycle, and the prequel still has a lot of stories left to tell. Taking Gibbs and Franks away from their Camp Pendleton base would have been too disruptive to the series\u2019 ongoing storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what was revealed about the Fed Five\u2019s operations in the\u00a0<em>NCIS: New Orleans<\/em>\u00a0backdoor pilot, they likely functioned separate from their respective teams. This poses an interesting challenge for\u00a0<em>NCIS: Origins<\/em>, as it will be curious to see how it will balance telling their specialized missions without totally abandoning what\u2019s happening in Camp Pendleton. It\u2019s also worth noting that telling their story will be a major timeline marker for the series, as it means that it will have to move its story forward and not stretch out this time in Gibbs\u2019 life further in order to be faithful to the established\u00a0<strong><em>NCIS<\/em><\/strong> canon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a new King in\u00a0NCIS.
