What To Know About Tony & Ziva’s New NCIS Show
Weatherly and De Pablo will reunite on-screen for the first time in a decade, returning to their popular NCIS roles. The spinoff will consist of ten episodes, with The Magicians showrunner and Trumbo writer John McNamara penning the script. Weatherly, De Pablo, and McNamara are all also executive producers. According to reports, the spinoff will be titled NCIS: Europe and is planning to begin production later this year.
The story will follow Tony and Ziva as they find themselves on the run across the continent. After the supposed death of Ziva in the main NCIS show, Tony left the team to raise the daughter he shares with Ziva. But years later, Ziva is discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission before she’s reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris.
In the upcoming Paramount+ show, Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together. But when Tony’s security company is attacked, the couple known as Tiva find themselves on the run in Europe. They try to fight out the culprit, learning to trust each other again in hopes of finally getting their happy ending. Further casting details about the NCIS spinoff have not been revealed so far.
