NCIS boss previews New Orleans spin-off Almost a year ago, NCIS executive producer Gary Glasberg was pitching storylines to star Mark Harmon when he brought up the idea that would spawn much more than the episode he was hoping to flesh out that day. “I had learned that there was this small office in the city of New Orleans — a real NCIS office — that this sort of fantastic, larger-than-life character/agent ran for 25 years. It was just him and a couple of other people — and that was it,” Glasberg says. “And I wanted to do it as a sweeps episode, and then Mark said to me he thought there was more to it than that.” It turns out there was. NCIS airs two-part backdoor pilot, NCIS: New Orleans, which was filmed in The Big Easy. While still very much an episode that features the core team — among them Gibbs (Harmon), Tony (Michael Weatherly), and McGee (Sean Murray) — it also introduces the faces and personalities of the spin-off.
