Before the announcement of NCIS: Europe, Michael Weatherly hinted at a potential reunion between Tony and Ziva, leaving fans eager for more. Unbeknownst to many, plans for a spinoff featuring the beloved duo were already in motion. However, this revelation raises questions about their involvement in the main NCIS series. With Gibbs’ absence from Ducky’s funeral hinting at a possible return, and Tim McGee and Palmer still active, the original series could set the stage for a proper reunion.
NCIS crossovers are nothing new, offering fans the excitement of a growing universe. While NCIS: Europe will debut on Paramount+, there’s still potential for the parent show to play a role in its launch, especially with the possibility of Tony and Ziva’s cameos serving as a backdoor pilot for their series. With McGee and Palmer on Parker’s team, it’s likely that they’ll be eager to assist their former colleagues.
