NCIS: Origins is bringing back Emily Wickersham as Ellie Bishop for Season 3, with coverage focused on a new preview connected to the show’s Episode 4 trailer and a “return” storyline involving Mark Harmon’s character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Multiple outlets describe the appearance as a reunion between Gibbs and Bishop, positioning it as a broader season event rather than a one-off cameo.
Deadline reports that Wickersham will guest star in multiple episodes, with her first appearance on Tuesday, Oct. 27, in an episode titled “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.” TVLine similarly says she will appear across multiple episodes and frames the return as a reunion with Gibbs, alongside providing a sneak peek. ComingSoon.net emphasizes the trailer and the “surprising” return, linking the news to NCIS franchise continuity for long-time viewers.
While all sources agree on Wickersham’s multi-episode return as Bishop and the Gibbs connection, they differ in what they lead with: trailer-focused framing versus casting and episode scheduling details.
