Proper now, the NCIS franchise has three reveals working on CBS: the flagship collection, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney. All three are winding down their present seasons on the 2025 TV schedule, and all three have been renewed for the 2025-2026 TV season. However quickly they’ll be joined by a fourth present: the streaming-exclusive NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which sees Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprising their characters from the unique NCIS. However when can begin watching this present utilizing a Paramount+ subscription? A fan requested Weatherly about this, and I’m excited concerning the clue-filled reply he gave.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva wrapped filming in February, thus kicking off the countdown of when the finished episodes will attain out eyes. Over on X, Michael Weatherly had this to say when a fan inquired about his predictions of when the collection can be launched:
Oh hi-ho! It’s so, so… shut to almost being a factor we will present. However do you why Docs are so good at golf? They’ve a number of Sufferers. (However not like loopy endurance. Like, regular endurance with surprises that make you cheerful. Like Xmas Persistence.)
I feel I’m selecting up what he’s throwing down right here, even when it was an extended stroll to get there. If my eager deductive abilities are right, we will most likely anticipate NCIS: Tony & Ziva to reach by… Thanksgiving? I’m kidding, apparently Michael Weatherly has it on good authority that the spinoff will come out someday in the course of the Christmas season. If that’s certainly the case, and assuming it’s getting 10 episodes like most Paramount+ authentic reveals do per season, then that might stretch Tony & Ziva’s run into February 2026 or possibly even March 2026 if it’s a late December drop.
Admittedly, I hoped that NCIS: Tony & Ziva can be prepared in time for this summer time. That method, whereas the opposite NCIS reveals had been on break from their community TV runs, followers might observe together with this spinoff’s title protagonists being paired collectively onscreen for the primary time in over a decade. However hey, I’m not going to look a present horse within the mouth. As somebody who’s been watching the unique NCIS since 2008, I’m simply grateful Weatherly and de Pablo are again within the NCIS-verse regularly.
Tony and Ziva had been final seen sharing display screen time within the NCIS Season 11 episode “Previous, Current, and Future,”which was Cote de Pablo’s final look as a collection common, whereas Michael Weatherly left the principle forged within the Season 13 finale. However within the years to observe, de Pablo reprised Ziva within the Season 16 finale and some Season 17 episodes, and Weatherly made a shock look within the David McCallum tribute episode that aired in Season 21. However we’ve recognized that Tony and Ziva reunited offscreen a very long time in the past, permitting them to lastly increase their daughter Tali collectively.
Alas, the occasions of NCIS: Tony & Ziva will observe the protagonists occurring the run in Europe after Tony’s safety firm is attacked. We’ll see what particular risks await them as soon as the spinoff premieres, so keep tuned to CinemaBlend for when the official launch is introduced, be it throughout Christmastime or one other portion of the yr if Weatherly is method off.
