Remakes, reboots, sequels: not only in the cinema are well-known brands regularly used, popular hits are also kept alive in every possible way on television – and continued or reissued. Because if the ratings suggest the audience wants more, why not just give it to them?
American television network CBS is currently expanding some of its successful TV universes. Early this year it was announced that cult researcher Leroy Jethro Gibbs would return from ‘NCIS’ – in the prequel ‘NCIS: Origins’, in which we will see a young version of the special agent embodied for years by Mark Harmon. In addition, in a few days we finally know who will be at the center of the third ‘The Big Bang Theory’ series: the two already known from the spin-off ‘Young Sheldon’ Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment). A few days later the following announcement follows:

Because he finally wants to get his life under control, he undergoes a rehabilitation project by the fire brigade. Because if he proves himself here, his sentence will be shortened.
