Cote de Pablo, known for her portrayal of Ziva David on NCIS, departed from the show in 2013, citing personal reasons for her decision. Although CBS attempted to retain her with a higher salary, she ultimately chose to leave. Following a three-month hiatus from acting, she returned to the industry but took on fewer projects.
In a recent episode of NCIS, Emily Wickersham’s character, Ellie Bishop, received a mysterious text hinting at Ziva’s potential return, though nothing has been officially confirmed. Given NCIS’s penchant for surprising its audience, fans will need to stay tuned to discover what lies ahead for Ziva.
