‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ Brings Back a Fan-Favorite Duo—And One Major Callback

Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David are back in “NCIS: Tony & Ziva,” and they’re packing bags for Paris. Paramount+ is bringing the beloved NCIS couple front and center in a brand-new spinoff series. From action-packed espionage to family drama and steamy tension, the series promises everything longtime “Tiva” fans have been waiting for—and even calls back to a special location from their early days on “NCIS.”

Tony and Ziva Reunite in Paris—With a New Mission and a Tween Daughter

Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprise their iconic roles as Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo and Ziva David, this time as co-parents raising their 12-year-old daughter Tali (played by Isla Gie) in Paris. But life in the City of Light is anything but calm.

According to the show’s official logline, the story begins when Tony’s security firm is attacked. The family is forced to flee across Europe to stay ahead of the unknown threat. As they go on the run, they must uncover who’s after them—and whether they can still trust each other enough to survive.

In a joint statement shared via Deadline, Weatherly and de Pablo said the show will be “an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter.” They added, “This is for the fans who’ve stuck with ‘Tiva’ all these years, asking what they’ve been up to. We can’t wait to finally show you.”

In a teaser video posted to Instagram in May, de Pablo added, “I expect intrigue, romance, the background of Europe, impossible situations that will make our life very complicated, but somehow a little something about love.”

A Romantic, Action-Fueled Callback to Their ‘NCIS’ Roots

Though “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” stands on its own, it draws directly from the flagship series that made the duo iconic. Tony exited “NCIS” in season 13, after learning that Ziva—presumed dead—had given birth to their daughter. Ziva later reappeared in season 16, revealing she had faked her death and gone into hiding. The two reunited off-screen, setting the stage for this new European chapter.

Weatherly said filming again with de Pablo felt surprisingly natural. “It was surprising how Cote and I just fell into this new place with our characters,” he told Variety. “Informed by the past, illuminated by the present, and trying to see a future together.”

And that Paris setting? That’s no coincidence. It’s a meaningful nod to earlier seasons of “NCIS,” when the duo spent time undercover in the French capital. It’s the kind of detail longtime viewers will recognize as a deep cut—one that connects the past and present of this complex love story.

The 10-episode season will debut with three episodes on September 4, 2025, followed by weekly releases until the finale on October 23. Fans can stream it exclusively on Paramount+.
