There’s been so much buzz about who will play a younger version of Scott Bakula’s popular "NCIS: New Orleans" character Dwayne Pride in Season 2 of CBS‘ "NCIS: Origins", and the wait is finally over.

Shea Buckner (Only Murders in the Building) will appear in one episode to air later this season as Pride, who Bakula portrayed across the Louisiana-set show’s seven seasons.

A former Sheriff’s Deputy, NIS Special Agent Dwayne Pride, is a newly minted Probationary Special Agent from the NIS Panama office in the prequel series. He has a history with Gibbs (Austin Stowell), and the two must resolve their past tension as they go undercover on a case.

While the episode will focus heavily on Pride, it will also reunite the Fed Five task force, a group of exceptional NIS agents who found fame after unmasking the Privileged Killer, Spencer Hanlon, in the original NCIS‘ 11th season.

The group consists of Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played originally by Mark Harmon), Michael Franks (Muse Watson), Dan McLane, Felix Betts (Stuart Margolin), and Pride. Gibbs and Franks are played by Stowell and Kyle Schmid.
