NCIS fans left feeling vindicated as two characters return in spin-off series

‘How is this real?’ one stunned fan said in response to new series

NCIS fans are celebrating the return of two fan favourite characters in a brand new spin-off series.

Nine years after last appearing on-screen together, Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo have reunited for their own project, playing Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David.

The news follows Weatherly’s special guest appearance in an episode paying tribute to David McCallum, the actor who played Dr Donald “Ducky’ Mallard in the long-running crime procedural. He died in September 2023.

When the project was announced, no title was set – but it’s now been revealed the series will be called NCIS: Tony & Ziva.

The show will reintroduce viewers to Tony and Ziva who, after last seeing each other in Paris, find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot that causes them to go on the run with their daughter.
