- *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* reunites Michael Weatherly's Tony DiNozzo and Cote de Pablo's Ziva David for a romance-fueled action series.
- James D'Arcy, Amita Suman, and Julian Ovenden round out the supporting cast.
- The first three episodes of *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* hit Paramount+ on Sept. 4.
Following the success of *NCIS: Origins*, the enduring, hydra-headed *NCIS* franchise is gearing up for yet another spinoff, *NCIS: Tony & Ziva*.
As its title implies, the series will center on fan-favorite characters Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo), a pair of agents who, after dancing around their romantic feelings for each other across numerous seasons of *NCIS, *are now co-parenting a child in Europe. But they soon find themselves framed in a cyber attack and pursued as fugitives by Interpol.
The project was first announced in February 2024, with Weatherly and de Pablo revealing that it had been gestating for several years.
"The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter," they said in a statement that offered a shoutout to "Tiva," the moniker bestowed upon the couple by fans. "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!"
Weatherly and de Pablo serve as executive producers alongside showrunner John McNamara, who previously led SyFy's *The Magicians* (2015–2020) and worked on series like ABC's *Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman* (1993–1997) and NBC's *Aquarius* (2015–2016).
So, when is *NCIS: Tony & Ziv*a coming out? Who else is in the cast? And is there a trailer? Read on as we answer these questions and more.**
Remind me — who are Tony and Ziva?

Tony DiNozzo is an NCIS field agent whom Weatherly portrayed for the first 13 seasons of *NCIS*. Special Agent Ziva David joined the flagship series in season 3 before leaving early in season 11. Though they initially found themselves at odds, the pair eventually settled into a flirtatious rhythm.
Ziva resigned from NCIS at the end of season 10, when she returned home to Israel following the murder of her father. In season 13, Tony learned that Ziva died in a mortar attack — and that she had given birth to his child. This prompted him to leave NCIS in order to care for their daughter, Tali.

But surprise! In season 16, viewers learned that Ziva survived the attack. She returned for a handful of season 17 episodes, and at the end of "In the Wind," she departs for Paris to reunite with Tony and Tali.
All that history gives *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* a bit more weight. Speaking with ** at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Weatherly described himself and de Pablo as having developed a "deeper, richer, more nuanced bond" by the time they began filming the spinoff.**
What is NCIS: Tony & Ziva about?

"Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together," reads a synopsis for the 10-episode series. "When Tony's security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so that they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after."**
Is there an NCIS: Tony & Ziva trailer?

Paramount+ has shared two trailers for *NCIS: Tony & Ziva*, both of which aim to highlight the series' *Mr. & Mrs. Smith*-style blend of romance, comedy, and action. The latest trailer, released at San Diego Comic-Con, even has Weatherly's Tony pointedly describing their relationship as being "kind of a cross between techno-thriller and romantic comedy."
The first trailer, released in May, focuses more on the romantic aspect of the series, with Ziva in therapy working to unpack her and Tony's "on-again, maybe-again, kinda-again" relationship.
That blurry dynamic is on full display in the latest clip — Tony and Ziva's daughter, Tali (Isla Gie), even asks if they're "getting back together." It also highlights the series' emphasis on action and espionage, pairing car chases through European streets with disguises and loads of firepower.
The trailer also teases some steamy scenes between the pair, as well as shots of Ziva in what appears to be a wedding dress.**
Who's in the cast of NCIS: Tony & Ziva?
Lara Rossi as Sophie and Isla Gie as Tali on 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva'.

Weatherly, de Pablo, and Gie will be joined by a supporting ensemble of tech experts, hackers, intelligence agents, and shadowy figures.
Amita Suman, who helped lead Netflix's *Shadow and Bone* (2021–2023), plays Claudette, Tony's reliable Chief Technical Officer at his security company. Lara Rossi (*I May Destroy You*) plays Sophie, another ally of Tony and Ziva with a background in the Special Air Service (SAS).
James D'Arcy as Henry on 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva'.

James D'Arcy (*Agent Carter*) and Julian Ovenden (*Bridgerton*) will also appear as Interpol agents pursuing Tony and Ziva.
Nassima Benchicou (*The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon*) costars as Martine, a former French intelligence agent who, per a character description, is adept at "playing both sides of any conflict masterfully to protect her own self-interest." Another wild card character is Boris, who's played by *Ted Lasso* alum Maximilian Osinski and described as "one of the best and most elusive" computer hackers in the world.
Finally, in a role that's key to the show's romantic tension, there's Terence Maynard's Dr. Lang, a therapist who's seen in the trailer helping Ziva navigate her strange relationship and past traumas.**
