Fans of the long-running CBS series NCIS are looking forward to the reunion of Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo in the recently announced spin-off, NCIS: Tony & Ziva. This new series will follow the famed pair’s exploits across Europe, but with a startling twist in the storyline.
According to Deadline, NCIS: Tony & Ziva will step back in time to explore events that took place nearly a decade ago. This approach allows the show to fill in gaps left after Ziva was presumed dead and Tony unexpectedly discovered he had a daughter.
This backstory sets up an intriguing exploration of how the two reconnected years ago, bridging missing details in their relationship for longtime fans.
The series’ unusual history allows for visits by prior favorites. Viewers may see Gibbs (Mark Harmon) or possibly Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) reappear. During a recent speech at MIPCOM, Cote de Pablo alluded to the need for this storytelling technique, saying, “We haven’t seen these characters since 2013, and I think fans have always wanted to know what occurred between them. In our first season, they’ll gain a sense of what transpired.”
With fresh insights into Tony and Ziva’s journey, NCIS: Tony & Ziva promises to be an exciting chapter for fans.
