“NCIS: Origins has added a brilliant new dimension to the NCIS franchise with an origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and a cinematic ’90s experience that features distinct characters, stories and crime solving,” said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach. “Poppa’s House excels with the dynamic father/son chemistry between Damon and Damon Jr. and their family-inspired stories that bring this comedy to life. These shows fit seamlessly into our Monday night lineup while resonating with viewers on CBS and Paramount+.”
The two series, along with Young Sheldon spin-off Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, have received a full season at the network. Matlock (2024) has already been renewed for the 2025-26 season.
The October 14 premiere of NCIS: Origins has drawn 9 million viewers so far, based on linear data from VideoAmp and internal streaming figures from CBS (the network is in a contractual dispute with Nielsen and is not using Nielsen ratings for the time being). Poppa's House, which debuted a week later, has 6.41 million viewers across platforms for its premiere so far.
Poppa's House also stars Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson. Dean Lorey produces the series along with Wayans Sr. and Wayans Jr.
Austin Stowell plays the younger version of Gibbs (the role played by Mark Harmon in the original) in NCIS: Origins. The cast also includes Kyle Schmid, Mariel Molino, Tyla Abercrumbie, Diany Rodriguez and Caleb Foote. David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal produce with Mark Harmon and Sean Harmon.
