Get ready for a thrilling reunion! Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, beloved as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David on NCIS, are teaming up again for a brand-new spinoff series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva. The show takes place in Europe, where the iconic duo will be on the run, bringing a fresh take to the familiar NCIS format.
As Cote de Pablo shared, “It makes it really easy because the fans will know exactly what the show is. It’s about Tony and Ziva in Europe.” The show’s writers are introducing new elements to differentiate it from its predecessors, with Michael Weatherly explaining that the show’s writer and showrunner, John McNamara, brings a fresh perspective to the franchise.
There’s buzz among other NCIS actors about potentially joining the cast. Brian Dietzen, who plays Dr. Jimmy Palmer, expressed his enthusiasm to join the show, saying “If they say: ‘Hey we need Jimmy Palmer on a plasma screen’ at any point, I’d say hell yes, that’d be fun.” Wilmer Valderrama, who plays Nicholas Torres, also expressed his excitement about possibly being involved in the show.
What sets this series apart is its ongoing storyline, rather than a case-of-the-week format. This serialized narrative structure aims to keep audiences engaged and invested in the story. The NCIS franchise continues to expand with multiple projects in development, including NCIS: Origins set to release in Fall 2024.
For now, the premiere date for NCIS: Tony & Ziva remains unknown. However, fans can look forward to a thrilling new adventure with Tony and Ziva as they take on Europe. Stay tuned for more updates!
