Kevin Kiner (Ahsoka, Narcos: Mexico, Star Wars: The Clone Wars & The Bad Batch, CSI: Miami, Making a Murderer, Doom Patrol, Hell on Wheels) is the composer of the new CBS drama NCIS: Origins. The prequel to the original NCIS series (which launched in 2003 and is currently being scored by Brian Kirk) is narrated by Mark Harmon and stars Austin Stowell, Kyle Schmid, Mariel Molino, Tyla Abercrumbie and Diany Rodriguez. The series follows a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs in 1991, years prior to the events of NCIS as he starts his career as a newly minted special agent at the fledgling NCIS Camp Pendleton office, where he forges his place on a gritty ragtag team. David J. North and Gina Lucita Monreal are the project’s co-showrunners and are also executive producing the CBS Studios production with Mark & Sean Harmon. Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Flatliners) is executive producing and directed the first episode. NCIS: Origins is premiering tonight on CBS and will also be available to stream on Paramount+.
Kiner also has the Max animated series Creature Commandos (co-scored with Clint Mansell) coming up. He is also expected to score the second season of Disney+’s Ahsoka and co-score the third season of AMC’s Dark Winds.
