NCIS is not anticipated to make its comeback until 2024, and rumors surrounding the potential return of Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David have elicited mixed reactions.
Speculations about Agents Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) making a comeback in NCIS Season 21 have sparked both excitement and apprehension among fans.
Fans have long anticipated a reunion between Tony and Ziva, especially after her departure in season 11 and Tony’s exit following her supposed death in season 13. Their offscreen reconciliation in season 16 left viewers eager for more, with actor Michael Weatherly adding fuel to the speculation through cryptic tweets.
On New Year’s Day, Weatherly hinted at a potential return, suggesting an interesting year for such moments. However, not everyone is thrilled about the prospect of Tony and Ziva returning as regular cast members.
While many fans express a desire for a special appearance, perhaps in the show’s final episode, some argue that bringing them back full-time could impede the show’s progression.
Opinions on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit are varied, with some fans expressing reluctance to see Tony and Ziva return, while others remain hopeful for a brief reunion. The sentiment appears divided between those who appreciate the characters’ history on the show and those who fear their return might hinder its momentum.
Despite ongoing speculation, there has been no official confirmation regarding the return of Tony and Ziva to NCIS. The uncertainty is further compounded by the writers’ strike, which has been ongoing for the past month, potentially delaying the show’s return until early 2024 or later.
