L-R Michael Weatherly as Tony Dinozzo, Cote de Pablo as Ziva David and Isla Gie as Tali In NCIS: … More
The on-screen reunion of Chilean-American actress Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly as Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo - after more than 10 years – is almost here. Ahead of its premiere, Paramount+ has unveiled the official name of the NCIS spinoff and released the first trailer for its highly anticipated original series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva.
The new series – first announced in February 2024 – picks up after Ziva’s supposed death, which led Tony to leave the NCIS team and raise their daughter, Tali, alone. It turns out that years later, Ziva was discovered alive and completed one final mission with NCIS before reuniting with Tony and Tali in Paris. The family is now living together in Europe – until Tony’s security company is attacked, forcing them to go on the run across the continent. As they try to uncover who is after them, Tony and Ziva must confront their past and learn to trust each other again, all while fighting to protect their daughter and secure their unconventional happily ever after.
The two-minute trailer, which attracted thousands of views and likes within half hour of its upload, will have its broadcast debut during tonight’s season 22 finale of NCIS on CBS.
De Pablo starred as Ziva from season 3 to 8 and made a dramatic return in season 17. Her on-screen chemistry with Weatherly’s Tony fueled the “Tiva” phenomenon that captivated fans worldwide and led to their revival.
The 10-episode series is the newest installment of the global NCIS franchise and will premiere this fall on Paramount+.
John McNamara (Trumbo, The Magicians) serves as showrunner. McNamara is also executive producer, alongside de Pablo, Weatherly, Laurie Lieser, Christina Strain, Shelley Meals, and Mairzee Almas. The cast also features Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Julian Ovenden, Nassima Benchicou, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Terence Maynard, and James D’Arcy.
The series is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
“We’ve been talking about this story for many years, and now with John McNamara at the helm, we are ready,” de Pablo and Weatherly said in a joint statement. “The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter.”
McNamara expressed his excitement about joining the NCIS universe and filming in new locations: “Given that the franchise is such a global sensation, I think it’s phenomenal that CBS Studios and Paramount+ have given us the greenlight to shoot in Europe.”
With over 300 million global viewers, the NCIS franchise continues to expand its reach. NCIS: Tony & Ziva will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ this fall, with the first look trailer available now and set to air during the NCIS season 22 finale on CBS.
