Fans will get to meet an important woman from Leroy Jethro Gibbs' past and the husband of Ellie Bishop on the next season of NCIS.

What Can Fans Expect From Season 12 of NCIS

The show's executive producer plans to have Gibbs' second ex-wife appear along with Bishop's spouse for the first time during season 12.

"I look forward to introducing [Gibbs' second ex-wife], and I look forward to meeting Bishop's husband," Gary Glasberg told TVLine.com. "We're already playing with some ideas that I think are going to be fun for people."

Glasberg previously spoke about introducing Bishop's husband and explained why the mystery man has yet to make an appearance on the CBS show. "At some point we'll spend some time with her husband, but we wanted to introduce her first and let people connect with her and understand who she is first," he told the website back in February.

The website also spoke to Emily Wickersham - the actress who plays Bishop - and asked if her character's husband is a lawyer, as rumors stated. Wickersham didn't confirm or deny the speculation. Instead, she said how excited she is for fans to get a closer look into her character's life.

"I'm not sure what's been revealed, to be honest, but it's a storyline that I'm really looking forward to getting to know more about," she said.

"I think it'll be fun to see where Bishop comes from. She has three older brothers, which I think makes the transition to hanging out with the NCIS crew easier."
