The latest 'NCIS' season 13 spoilers reveal that Mark Harmon's Agent Gibbs has managed to survive the fatal incident last season. In fact, the actor has recently signed the contract with the series for his return in the upcoming season. But how long he stays still is still a mystery for now.

Many fans speculate that actor Mark Harmon will not be returning in Season 13 of 'NCIS', after his character was shot by a boy in a marketplace in Iraq during the Season 12 finale. The speculations intensify when Harmon answered, during the interview with James Corden in his late show, that everyone is replaceable in the series, which hinted that he could be leaving.

But the latest 'NCIS' season 13 spoilers and cast update debunk these speculations. It is recently reported that Harmon's character, Agent Gibbs, has managed to survive the incident happened last season. That means, the actor is not leaving the show.

TVLine confirms that Harmon has re-signed the contract for him to continue his role in 'NCIS' season 13. But the reports did not point out how long will he stay.

Christian Today notes that signing up for 13th season of the long-running police procedural series can mean either of two things: Harmon isn't going anywhere and will be there for the long run, or he will wrap things up for his character's impending demise.

Show executive Gary Glasberg has assured fans the new season will kick off just as intensely as the previous one ended. Fans should expect the 'NCIS' thirteenth season would open on September 22 in such a "frenetic and chaotic manner" where the show left. Glasberg adds that the team will face threat on "NCIS" season 13.
