Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo’s spinoff NCIS: Tony and Ziva has finally received a premiere date.
Paramount+ confirmed that NCIS: Tony and Ziva will premiere with three episodes on September 4. New episodes will then drop weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale set to start streaming on October 23.
“We’re beyond excited to finally share Tony and Ziva’s next chapter with the incredible fans around the world who never stopped believing this day would come,” stars and executive producers De Pablo, 45, and Weatherly, 56, said in a statement. “Returning to these roles together on screen after more than a decade has been an unforgettable journey packed with lies, spies, danger, desire … and self-driving murder cars.”
The statement continued: “(Don’t worry, that last one will make sense soon). This is one wild ride you won’t want to miss, and as they say in Paris: Accrochez-vous bien!”
Every Star Who’s Left ‘NCIS’: Where Are They Now?
According to the official synopsis, the 10-episode series “picks up after Ziva’s supposed death when Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris.”
Tony (Weatherly) and Ziva (de Pablo), who have been raising daughter Tali together, must “go on the run across Europe” together when Tony’s security company is attacked. The fictional couple has to “try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.”
In addition to de Pablo and Weatherly, NCIS: Tony and Ziva stars Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Nassima Benchicou, Terence Maynard, Julian Ovenden and James D’Arcy.
NCIS: Tony and Ziva‘s release date comes more than a year after the series was announced by Paramount+ in February 2024. Weatherly originally starred on NCIS as Tony DiNozzo from seasons 1 to 13, while de Pablo joined the cast as Ziva David in season 3 and departed in season 11.
How Many ‘NCIS’ Shows Are There? It’s a Long List
“We’ve been talking about this story for many years, and now with [executive producer] John McNamara at the helm, we are ready,” the duo said in a February 2024 statement about their onscreen reunion. “The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller-coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter.”
Weatherly and de Pablo noted that NCIS: Tony and Ziva is a way for them to “acknowledge and thank the fans from around the world” who supported their characters since the beginning.
“To this day, they say hello in grocery stores and on the street to tell us how much these characters mean to them and ask what Tony and Ziva are up to now. This is for you!” they added at the time.
