David James Elliott is ready to bring back 'JAG' with Catherine Bell: 'There's always a chance'
The legal procedural ended two decades ago, after 10 seasons. But Elliott tells EW at Comic-Con that he's open to revisiting the show. 2025 marks 20 years since JAG aired its final episode — and series star David James Elliott thinks that's enough time away to justify revisiting the Emmy-winning legal procedural. During a visit to Entertainment Weekly's Comic-Con video studio Saturday to promote his new supernatural horror series Revival, Elliott was asked whether he'd ever consider stepping back into the fastidiously polished shoes of Lt. Harmon Rabb Jr. "I mean, there's always a chance," Elliott says. His Revival castmate Andy McQueen adds, "I think its a good idea!" JAG was created by prolific screenwriter and TV producer Donald P. Bellisario, who came to the project in 1995 having already ushered series like Magnum, P.I. and Quantum Leap into the world. The series follows a group of JAGs, or Judge Advocate Generals, a corps of legal advisors who serve under the jurisdiction of the U.S. military. JAG in particular zoomed in on a subset of JAGs within the Navy led by Elliott's character, Harm."Don Bellisario is still alive. I mean, it's his 90th birthday coming up," Elliott says. "Certainly I think it would be interesting. I would be down for it, but I don't know if it involves me. You know those reboots, they go, 'Yeah, thank you. We got new guys!'" One could argue that JAG — or at least the world it created — never really went off the air. In 2003, JAG aired a two-episode arc as part of its eighth season that introduced a whole new roster of characters from the JAG corps' sister agency, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, Alan Dale, David McCallum, and Alicia Coppola all went on to reprise their characters in a little show called NCIS, which JAG so graciously provided a backdoor pilot for. In 2019, Elliott reprised his JAG character on an episode of the NCIS spinoff NCIS: Los Angeles. He appeared alongside Catherine Bell, who played Lt. Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie, Harm's best friend, work wife, almost real wife, and off-and-on love interest for nine of the series' 10 seasons. Mac addressed the years since their last meeting during their stint on NCIS: LA. "It's been nine years, Harm," she said. "Why?" Harm romantically responded, "I don't know, but we're way past letting fate decide." While there are no concrete plans of a JAG revival (at least that we know of), NCIS will soon be getting its sixth spinoff when NCIS: Tony & Ziva reunites Weatherly's Tony and Cote de Pablo's Ziva David in the original article on Entertainment Weekly

REVIVAL Series Premiere Recap: (S01E01) Don't Tell Dad
Revival Season 1 Episode 1, 'Don't Tell Dad,' is a solid series premiere. It's giving dark Wynonna Earp vibes meets Fargo . Melanie Scrofano is back on my screen in a Syfy show, and all is well with the world. 'Don't Tell Dad' deftly lays the groundwork for what's to come, and the overarching mystery is intriguing as all get-out. Society at large discriminating against Revivers also hits close to home, especially considering the state of our country. I hope the series finds thoughtful ways to explore that. RELATED: Revival : Co-Creators Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce on Crafting 'Weird' New Series Revival, 'Don't Tell Dad' We open on Randy's Crematorium during the holiday season in Wausau, Wisconsin. May Tao (Katharine King So) films a segment about odd jobs in town. Here, she focuses on Randy (Graeme Barrett) and his cremation business. May helps Randy load a body into the cremation incinerator. REVIVAL — 'Don't Tell Dad' Season 1 Episode 1 — Pictured: Brandon Oakes as Jesse Blackdear — (Photo by: Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Suddenly, the man inside starts pounding on the door after Randy turns on said incinerator. He's alive. After a few seconds of struggling, Randy opens the door. The man barrels into the room, now on fire. Then, May and Randy hear voices from the morgue as those within, who used to be dead, call out for help. One person bolts upright while inside a body bag. Revival Day is here. The Dead Are Back Meanwhile, Wayne Cypress (David James Elliott), the town sheriff, quarrels with his daughter, Dana (Scrofano). Dana is an officer at the local station, working under her dad. Dana is packing her and her son Cooper's (Hudson Wurster) belongings. She plans to move them to Chicago, where she has accepted a new job. Wayne tries to dissuade her from leaving. Dana gives her father her two-week notice. RELATED: Revival : Check Out 9 First-Look Photos From Melanie Scrofano-Led Series Then, Wayne gets a call about Randy, who's understandably panicking after the dead came back to life in his crematorium. He orders Dana to investigate. While en route to Randy, Dana stops in the middle of the road near the cemetery. She looks on in horror as the formerly deceased make their way toward her in a state of bewilderment. Why are they alive? Jordan (Flora McInroy), Cooper's classmate, approaches Dana, asking for her mother. REVIVAL — 'Don't Tell Dad' Season 1 Episode 1 — Pictured: Melanie Scrofano as Dana Cypress — (Photo by: Mathieu Savidant/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Fast forward 35 days. Quarantine is finally over, but Wausau officials — as sanctioned by Mayor Dillisch (Conrad Coates) — have ordered everyone not to leave town. CDC checkpoints are situated at various spots across town. We learn that at least 47 'Revivers,' as they're called, are in a registry. In addition, those who returned from the dead usually died between December 4 and December 18; the latter date is now known as Revival Day. Move On Meanwhile, Martha 'Em' Cypress (Romy Weltman), Dana's little sister, soaks in a bathtub. We're in her dorm room. Her roommate Kay (Maia Jae) returns from her extended stay at home during the quarantine. She encourages Em to help her clean the place. Classes are about to restart, after all. Life goes on. RELATED: Revival : The Dead Have Rejoined the Living in Official Trailer Elsewhere, Dana gets smoochy-smoochy with Ibrahim Ramin (Andy McQueen). They're about to get it on in Dana's vehicle when Wayne calls her about a dead horse. Someone's gotta be on dead animal duty. Dana politely gives Ibrahim the boot before driving away. This scene feels very Earp , and I love it. Later, Dana drives to the aforementioned dead horse in the middle of a road. She also discovers a dead coyote in an animal trap, a rather crudely made one at that, with railroad spikes. Strewn about the coyote and horse are human teeth. Yum. REVIVAL — 'Don't Tell Dad' Season 1 Episode 1 — Pictured: Melanie Scrofano as Dana Cypress — (Photo by: Mathieu Savidant/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Is Wausau Safe? The following day, we see a 'For Lease' sign outside Dana's house. She sends Cooper off to school, although he's unsure about returning. On TV, Mayor Dillisch chats with a Reviver and reassures the townsfolk that, despite the extra precautions taken by the sheriff, with his registry and checkpoint zones, Wausau is safe. RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 At school, Cooper reunites with Jordan, expressing gratitude that she's back. However, kids can be cruel, and their classmates bully her for being a Reviver. Dana heads into the station to find a bevy of people complaining about Revivers. Well, except one. Opal Shaw (Jill Frappier) is desperately searching for her husband. He died the day before the two-week period prior to Revival Day. Deputy McCray (Nathan Dales) creepily asks Dana if she's found her horse guy yet. It's a Letterkenny reunion, my good buddies. Dana asks Deputy Brent Carlisle (Mark Little) if he was able to secure the registry for her. Unfortunately, the sheriff is restricting access to just the task force. The Registry After this, Dana eavesdrops on the sheriff and mayor's heated argument. Well, she's mostly curious about the cutie patootie the CDC has sent over. Inside Wayne's office, Wayne advocates for kicking the Revivers out of Wausau, while Dillisch believes they're not a threat. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Then, after Dillisch storms out, Dana barges into her father's office. She realizes the new CDC liaison is none other than Ibrahim, her almost-sex buddy. Things get awkward. Ibrahim explains that they have zero evidence thus far to support that Revivers are dangerous. Once he departs, Wayne asks if Dana and Ibrahim have slept together. He also urges Dana to move quickly with the horse case. The station is stretched thin as it is. Before she leaves the office, Dana surreptitiously grabs the registry files. She looks through them at her desk. She notes that a few names, like Myles Miller, are 'Unascertained' Revivers. Myles also has a violent past. Next, Dana gets a call from Chicago, with, presumably, the woman who hired her on the other end informing her that they can no longer keep the job open for her. So, Dana's stuck in Wausau. Scout's Honor Randy pops up and tells Dana that the horse is gone. The CDC took the carcass. Meanwhile, Em pays Professor Aaron Weimer (Gianpaolo Venuta) a visit. It's abundantly clear they had some kind of romantic entanglement (with quite the imbalanced power dynamic). Em demands that Aaron meet her at their spot later. It's important. RELATED: 10 Predictions for The Ark Season 3 Later, Dana visits Ibrahim at the makeshift CDC headquarters inside a high school gymnasium. Dana wants to know why he took her horse. Ibrahim explains they found an anomaly inside said horse — human teeth. In fact, they're a match for the teeth Dana discovered near the dead coyote. Ibrahim decides to show Dana something incredible, but she can't tell anyone about it. 'Scout's honor,' Dana says while throwing up the Vulcan salute (nice nod to Scrofano's other job, writers). Ibrahim cuts through Reviver tissue. In an instant, the tissue stitches itself back together. That means Revivers boast self-healing abilities. Dana calls Lester (Peter Millard), who was with her when she discovered the teeth, to confirm what kind of truck he drives. She recalls the truck tracks she found at the scene. They don't belong to Lester. She tells Ibrahim that someone placed an already dead horse in the middle of the road. The Only Lead Dana also believes that someone out there is hiding a super-strong, animal-eating Reviver. This Reviver's teeth, in particular, can regrow, so while they might be strong enough to bite through a horse, the act might still destroy their teeth. RELATED: Read our Wynonna Earp recaps Dana decides to pursue her only lead — Myles Miller. She wonders how the police know they've tracked down all the Revivers when there are 45,000 people in the quarantine zone. Someone could've died in their sleep and not known it. Meanwhile, Em and Wayne chat on the phone. Em promises to be better at calling her dad on a more consistent basis. After they hang up, Em weeps, staring at the wedding band in her hand. Someone watches her from the shadows. Next, Dana finds Myles (Josh Cruddas), who's not exactly thrilled to see her. They get into a scuffle. Myles' arm winds up in one of his animal traps, so that's not fun for him. Dana notices his teeth aren't in great shape, but they're merely how they were before Myles came back from the dead. They're certainly not regrowing. Dana arrests Myles for, if anything, assaulting an officer. A Reunion The following day, Dana leaves to meet with a couple residing on the outskirts of the quarantine zone. They could have what she's looking for: answers. Wayne takes Cooper along to do a wellness check for Mrs. Shaw. While en route, Dana finds Em sleeping on a bench. She offers to give her little sister a ride home. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: SurrealEstate 's Susan Ireland Dana and Em reconnect. We learn that they used to be close, but time — and family issues — drove a wedge between them. They reminisce about old times and decide to plan a beach trip for when all the madness ends. We learn Em has an undisclosed medical condition, potentially pertaining to her bones. Em decides to ride along to keep Dana company while she works. Later, Dana arrives at the Dittmans — Bob (Derek McGrath) and Terry (Nora McLellan). As it turns out, they have the kind of truck Dana is looking for. There's also a bloody tarp in the truck bed. Dead giveaway. Elsewhere, Mrs. Shaw lets Wayne into her house. He discovers that she dug up her husband's corpse, and it's sitting at the kitchen table. The poor woman begs her husband to come back to life. Aw. Wayne departs while calling the coroner to pick up the body. Unfortunately, Cooper has fled Wayne's vehicle. REVIVAL — 'Don't Tell Dad' Season 1 Episode 1 — Pictured: (l-r) Nicky Guadagni as Arlene Stankiewiscz, Romy Weltman as Martha 'Em' Cypress — (Photo by: Naomi Peters/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) A Rogue Reviver Dana hears noises emanating from the Dittmans' barn. We learn that Terry's mother now lives there. She's the rogue Reviver who ate the horse and coyote. Dana watches as Arlene (Nicky Guadagni) pulls her teeth out. They grow back instantly. Arlene lunges at Dana. Terry tries to pacify her mother. Unfortunately, Arlene tosses Terry, whose head catches on a hook on the barn wall. She dies. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Bob attacks his mother-in-law, but Arlene casts him aside with ease. Em, who Dana ordered to stay in the car, grabs a scythe. She attempts to stab Arlene with it. Suddenly, Arlene plunges the blade through Em's torso. Dana cries out and rushes to her sister's side. She whirls around and fires on Arlene, but the bullets do, well, nothing. After this, Arlene tries to choke the life out of Dana. Thankfully, Em slices the top of Arlene's head clean off with the scythe. Arlene collapses. A shocked Dana watches as the wound on Em's stomach heals. She's a Reviver. Em tearfully begs Dana not to tell their father. If I had a nickel for every time Melanie Scrofano's character has a little sister with special abilities, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
