Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo will soon be returning to the NCIS franchise via the highly-anticipated upcoming spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Premiering this fall amid the 2025 TV schedule for Paramount+ subscription holders, the show will see the actors reprise their fan-favorite roles from as Tony DiNozza and Ziva David. The pair will be on the run across Europe with their tween daughter, Tali, following an attack on Tony’s security company. Even though the show has yet to premiere, the showrunner is weighing in on the chance it of returning for Season 2 on one of the best streaming services.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva only has a 10-episode order thus far, which isn’t that much compared to the bigger orders that the franchise’s network TV offers receive. As a fan, I’m not sure 10 episodes will be enough to satisfy me. On that note, showrunner John McNamara told TVLine he was “excited to tell a single, serialized story of intrigue and espionage over 10 episodes.” Hence why it was better for the spinoff to be on Paramount+ as opposed to NCIS home network CBS.
Michael Weatherly consistently trolling fans about it. Weatherly has since continued to do that in the lead-up to the show.
The series is still months away, but Paramount+ did drop a dramatic first look at Tony & Ziva that even saw Tony making Tali laugh, and my heart melted. It’s been revealed that the series will premiere this fall, but an actual date has yet to be announced. I sincerely hope the wait will be worth it, and that if it’s good, the series will prove popular enough to warrant a second season for Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David’s spinoff.
While you wait for an official release date to be announced, why not hop on to Paramount+ now to stream classic episodes of NCIS? They’ll give you a taste of the dynamic between the lead characters of Tony & Ziva.
