CBS announced today that NCIS: Origins has been picked up for a second season. The renewal makes sense, as the drama received a top-up of its freshman run last November after a strong start, bringing its total to 18. Five episodes remain in Season 1.

A spinoff prequel of 'NCIS,' the series is set in 1991, following Leroy Jethro Gibbs at the beginning of his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office. There he forges his place on a gritty, ragtag team led by NCIS legend Mike Franks.
