Michael Weatherly recently took to Instagram to clear up a misconception about the upcoming NCIS Tony and Ziva spinoff. The NCIS franchise, known for being CBS' longest-running scripted series and TV's most-watched drama, is expanding with new spinoffs. One of these spinoffs is NCIS: Origins, which will delve into Leroy Jethro Gibbs' early years in the agency. Another anticipated offshoot will follow the beloved couple Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo from the main series.

Weatherly recently made a return to NCIS after almost ten years since he left the show. His appearance was brief and did not involve interacting with the current NCIS team. However, this cameo seems to be just the beginning of his bigger comeback, as hinted during a conversation with Jimmy Palmer. He mentioned that he was just passing through, likely due to being on the run with Ziva in the new storyline.
The reason behind Tony and Ziva being on the run remains unknown, adding an intriguing twist to their characters who were previously federal agents on NCIS. To raise the stakes, they will be accompanied by their daughter, Tali, on this new journey. It raises questions about whether their pasts are catching up with them. Ziva, as a former Mossad agent, understands the consequences of her history and the need to confront it. In the past, she faked her death to handle it alone, but this time, she has Tony by her side as a dependable ally.
There are still many uncertainties surrounding the NCIS spinoff featuring Tony and Ziva. Production is scheduled to start later this year. More details about the show are likely to be announced by then. It's possible that CBS might use NCIS season 21 to introduce the new series with the couple. This could mean that either or both of them may make another appearance in the original show.
Don't forget to catch NCIS season 21 airing every Monday at 9pm ET on CBS.
