The “NCIS” universe is expanding, with two new spinoffs set to premiere alongside “NCIS” Season 22 and “NCIS: Origins,” which focuses on Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ early years. One spinoff revisits the narratives of Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, reigniting fan interest in characters long absent from the main series.
Ziva David, portrayed by Cote de Pablo, made her debut in “NCIS” Season 3, replacing Caitlin Todd on the MCRT team. Todd, played by Sasha Alexander, met a tragic end in Season 2, a pivotal moment etched in fans’ hearts even decades later. Despite Todd’s departure, her impact lingers, setting the stage for subsequent story arcs, including the eagerly anticipated Tony and Ziva spinoff.
The next series owes its existence to these founding characters and the lasting impact they have had on the “NCIS” brand.
