Katrina Law shared her dream collaboration, which involves Cote de Pablo reprising her NCIS character, Ziva David, and teaming up with Jessica Knight.

Law expressed her excitement about the possibility of Ziva returning and having scenes together. She mentioned that the "Tiva" pair, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva, are her ultimate favorites from the series.

Law, who has portrayed Jessica Knight since 2021, admitted that she would struggle with fan girling if she worked with de Pablo, who is 44 years old.

She jokingly mentioned, "I'm sure that after spending a day, two, or even a week together, I would eventually calm down and act normal."

During her time on the CBS series from 2005 to 2013, De Pablo played the role of Ziva. In 2019, she made a comeback for a few season 17 appearances. Ziva's character fell in love with Tony on the show, and they had a daughter named Tali. (Weatherly left the series in 2016 after being a part of it for 13 seasons.)

While Law hasn’t worked with de Pablo, she has always loved the roles of Ziva and her partner, Tony.

"I love watching my favorite characters interact on the show," she excitedly shared with Us. She expressed her anticipation for the upcoming spinoff on Paramount+ and mentioned that she will be there as a dedicated fan, fangirling.

In February, it was announced by Paramount+ that de Pablo and Weatherly, aged 55, will be returning to reprise their NCIS roles for a spinoff series. The new show will focus on their life as a family of three.

The network expressed their excitement about the long-awaited story, now led by executive producer John McNamara. They mentioned that the journey of Tony, Ziva, and their daughter Tali will be filled with love, danger, tears, and laughter.

Law, meanwhile, is focused on the future of her NCIS character, Jessica, as season 21 continues.

"Knight is a unique character. She's a tough federal agent who excels at her work. She's daring and ambitious," the actress shared with Us. "She enjoys taking risks and going after what she wants. Knight is a thrill-seeker, but she also has a quirky and nerdy side. I really appreciate that mix."

Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Law hinted at an exciting interaction between Knight and Aldean Parker, played by Gary Cole.

One of my favorite episodes is the season finale for season 21. Jessica Knight is paired up with Gary Cole's Parker for most of the episode. Working one-on-one with Gary Cole was a dream come true for her. He is a truly special actor who effortlessly creates memorable moments on screen. There were times where she couldn't even see Gary anymore, he was that immersed in his character. It was a lesson and an inspiration to work alongside him.

According to Law, viewers can look forward to the final few episodes being action-packed, heartfelt, and thrilling.

NCIS airs on CBS Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
