NCIS fans are only a few months away from finally seeing Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David kick ass onscreen together for the first time in over a decade in the appropriately-named NCIS: Tony & Ziva. We’ve known since April that this reunion would happen sometime this fall on the 2025 TV schedule, but the official premiere date for the Paramount+ subscription-exclusive spinoff has been announced. While that’s all well and good, this news came with an intriguing tease for a threat that Tony and Ziva will deal with during their grand return.
Mark off Thursday, September 4 on your calendars, as that’s when the first three episodes of NCIS: Tony & Ziva will drop exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Japan. After that premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale coming out on October 23. This announcement was accompanied by the following statement from Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, who are not only reprising Tony & Ziva’s title characters, but also executive producing:
We’re beyond excited to finally share Tony and Ziva’s next chapter with the incredible fans around the world who never stopped believing this day would come. Returning to these roles together on screen after more than a decade has been an unforgettable journey packed with lies, spies, danger, desire…..and self-driving murder cars. (Don’t worry, that last one will make sense soon). This is one wild ride you won’t want to miss, and as they say in Paris: Accrochez-vous bien!
already-record-breaking NCIS: Tony & Ziva premieres on one of the best streaming services. Funny enough though, back in December, the NCIS Season 22 episode “Out of Control” also saw a self-driving car being remotely operated, and that led to someone’s death. Not because of the car itself, but because of the struggle that erupted when the car reached its hijacked destination.
get out of this jam.
Weatherly and de Pablo NCIS: Tony & Ziva castmates include Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Nassima Benchicou, Terence Maynard, Julian Ovenden and James D’Arcy. Per showrunner John McNamara, the spinoff is only set for a one-season run right now, but the mention of the “season finale” in the official announcement has me hopeful that Season 2 might be considered after Paramount+ sees how the initial 10 episodes do.
