NCIS continues to thrive, with its 22nd season set to premiere in fall 2024. Despite the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, CBS is launching two new spin-offs: NCIS: Origins, which explores Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ early career, and a series reuniting Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo. This strategy mirrors the successful revival techniques seen with Law & Order.
The main NCIS series remains incredibly popular, prompting CBS and Paramount to focus on beloved characters. While NCIS: New Orleans, NCIS: Los Angeles, and NCIS: Hawai’i have ended, the core series stays strong. Fans eagerly await the return of characters played by Mark Harmon, Cote de Pablo, and Michael Weatherly. The late David McCallum’s Ducky will always be cherished, but the legacy of the original cast endures. Here’s what to expect from NCIS: Tony and Ziva:
Plot Summary for NCIS: Tony and Ziva
The much-anticipated spin-off stars Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, now living in Paris and filming in Budapest. The series explores their complex relationship and trust issues as they raise their daughter, Tali. After Ziva’s faked death and Tony’s hiatus to care for Tali, the two reunite amidst ongoing threats. Trust becomes a central theme as they confront new challenges.
Michael Weatherly (Tony) and Cote de Pablo (Ziva) humorously hint at the show’s suspenseful nature, suggesting the title “NCIS: Trust No One.” The series introduces new characters, including a British nanny/bodyguard, a Russian hacker, a French Interpol liaison, and a tweenage Tali.
The official synopsis promises an action-packed adventure filled with love, danger, and humor. Tony’s security company comes under attack, forcing the family to flee across Europe and learn to trust each other again. Expect plenty of drama and excitement as these beloved characters strive for their unconventional happily ever after.
Cast
Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly reprise their fan-favorite roles, with hopes for a cameo from another NCIS veteran, although it won’t be Pauley Perrette. Other possibilities remain open.
Release Date
NCIS: Tony and Ziva will stream on Paramount+. CBS has yet to confirm whether it will schedule a weekly NCIS night featuring all three series (including Origins and Tony and Ziva) consecutively or stagger the releases to avoid long gaps without new episodes. NCIS: Origins is slated for late 2024/early 2025, so Tony and Ziva will likely follow soon after.
