Bridgerton’s Julian Ovenden and Ted Lasso’s Maximilian Osinski have joined the cast of the upcoming NCIS spin-off series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva. This new series will feature the return of Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), who find themselves on the run across Europe with their young daughter after an attack on Tony’s security firm.
Ovenden, known for his role as Henry Granville in Bridgerton, will play Jonah, a former computer programmer now serving as the Secretary General of Interpol. Osinski will portray Boris, a Russian ex-pat and computer hacker.
Other newly announced cast members include Isla Gie (The Sandman), Amita Suman (Shadow and Bone), Nassima Benchicou (Emily in Paris), Terence Maynard (Coronation Street), Lara Rossi (I May Destroy You), and James D’Arcy (Agent Carter). Gie will take on the role of Tali, Tony and Ziva’s 12-year-old daughter. Suman will play Claudette, the Chief Technical Officer at Tony’s security company. Benchicou is cast as Martine, a former French intelligence agent, while Maynard will portray Dr. Lang, an experienced therapist. Rossi will play Sophie, a skilled professional with an SAS background, and D’Arcy will appear as Henry, a high-ranking Interpol official.
This new casting announcement follows Weatherly’s recent discussion about the 10-part spin-off. He highlighted the show’s serialized format, comparing it to a 10-hour movie, which allows for deeper character development and more intricate storytelling.
NCIS airs on CBS in the US, and Seasons 1-20 are available for streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
