Harmon has been playing the role of Gibbs for almost 20 years before leaving the series at the start of season 19. In his exit episode, Gibbs and NCIS Senior Field Agent Timothy McGee traveled to Alaska for a case. But only the latter returned to Washington, D.C.
In a previous interview with TV Insider earlier this year, Rocky Carroll, who plays NCIS Director Leon Vance, dropped a hint that Gibbs may return in the future.
“I think as long as this show stays on the air, there will always be a little bit of a tease that we might see Gibbs again. First time I saw an episode of this show, I said, oh, it’s Gary Cooper from High Noon. Gibbs is the moral compass. He’s the moral compass that we all wish we had,” he said.
Harmon also teased a possible return in a special featurette for the NCIS season 19 DVD.
“I’m not retired… The character is living in Alaska as far as I know,” he said.

NCIS executive producer and showrunner Steven D. Binder is also optimistic about Gibb’s return in future seasons. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, BGinder said that Harmon remains an integral part of the show.
“So regarding the future of Gibbs, as longtime fans of the show may have noticed over the years… never count Leroy Jethro Gibbs out,” he hinted.
