Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo are bringing back their iconic characters in a new spinoff aptly titled, NCIS: Tony & Ziva.
The series was announced by Paramount+ in February 2024, with confirmation that they would be bringing back Weatherly and de Pablo. Weatherly starred on the military drama as Tony DiNozzo from seasons 1 to 13, while de Pablo joined the cast as Ziva David in season 3 and departed in season 11.
On NCIS, Ziva was presumed to be dead following de Pablo’s season 11 exit. Two seasons later, Tony decided to resign from the agency to focus on raising the pair’s daughter, Tali. However, in season 16, it was revealed that Ziva was alive and de Pablo reprised her role. After coming back from the dead, both de Pablo and Weatherly have returned to NCIS for brief appearances.
“We’ve been talking about this story for many years, and now with [executive producer] John McNamara at the helm, we are ready,” the duo said in a February statement about their new adventure. “The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter.”

Weatherly and de Pablo added that with their new show they wanted to “acknowledge and thank the fans from around the world” who supported their characters since the start and long after their respective exits.
“To this day, they say hello in grocery stores and on the street to tell us how much these characters mean to them and ask what Tony and Ziva are up to now. This is for you!” they said.

After their daughter is kidnapped because of Tony’s current job in security, he enlists Ziva’s help to get her back. “I have no desire to harm a child, but if I must, no objection,” a bad guy threatens in the clip.
“I haven’t been here in a while, do you still keep all that stuff in your cookie jars?” Tony asks Ziva, hinting that they are not a romantic item. Ziva teases, “I leveled up a bit,” unveiling a room full of weapons.
Tony jokes, “Have I ever told you how much I appreciate your paranoia.” Elsewhere in the trailer, the former NCIS agents jump over cars, track down bad guys and hunt for Tali while getting closer and closer.
“Tali couldn’t ask for a better mother, and I couldn’t ask for a better safe house roomie,” Tony says with a laugh.
After a glimpse at the pair getting cozy on a dance floor and nearly kissing pops up, Ziva gets real with Tony. “Have you ever been in therapy?” she asks. Tony replies, “Once. I walked in happy and walked out depressed and I kept on walking.”
Ziva smirks, responding, “That is so incredibly you.”
