NCIS Bombshell: Ziva and DiNozzo Return in Thrilling Spinoff

Summary:

• NCIS is the third longest running network TV series, currently in its 21st season on CBS.
• Two of the show's original characters, Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo, left the series in seasons 11 and 13, respectively.
• Now, CBS welcomes the beloved couple back in a new spinoff following their lives in Europe.

So far, the NCIS franchise has had an incredibly eventful year, expanding even further and ordering new series to explore some of the most beloved characters and their stories in depth. Viewers were already promised a character study of the young Gibbs in NCIS: Origins, and now two more legacy characters are being brought back.

Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo were among the most prominent and beloved characters of the original series through season 11. The controversial departure of Ziva, who left her family behind, was not the most satisfying for viewers. In order to restore balance, the NCIS team was able to bring back actress Cote de Pablo for season 17 to give her a better closure.

But as it turned out, Ziva and DiNozzo's tale of love and adventure was far from over. With their daughter, Tali, about to start a new life in Paris, the couple was about to embark on another eventful journey. And viewers are invited along for the ride!

When Will NCIS’ Tiva Spinoff Be Out?

There is nothing more exciting than a real on-screen reunion, especially one that no one really saw coming. Though still beloved by many viewers, Ziva and DiNozzo's story felt pretty much done, but as we all know, all endings are just the beginning of something new.

Both Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo will return to their respective roles. However, the casting of their daughter Tali is still under wraps.

Whether we will see more of the existing NCIS characters in the spinoff, which will remain under the nickname NCIS: Europe for the time being, is also unknown. However, considering the fact that the action will take place across the continent, the chances of an occasional cameo or crossover are slim.

The focus of the series will be on the couple as they rebuild their lives together, despite the dangers that still seem to follow them around the globe.

After so many years apart, Ziva will have to earn the trust of not only her partner, but also their daughter. Don't worry, though: the show will be just as packed with action as it is with drama.

Weatherly, de Pablo and writer John McNamara will also executive produce the 10-episode first season. The show is produced by Paramount and will air on CBS.
