Tony DiNozzo’s return to NCIS has been a significant development for the series. In February 2024, Michael Weatherly reprised his role as DiNozzo in a tribute episode honoring Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard, portrayed by the late David McCallum. This episode not only paid homage to McCallum’s character but also reintroduced DiNozzo, adding a layer of nostalgia and depth to the storyline.
Following this, in July 2024, production began on a new NCIS spinoff titled NCIS: Tony & Ziva, featuring both Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprising their roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. Set against European backdrops, the series follows the couple as they navigate new challenges, blending intrigue, romance, and action. The spinoff has generated considerable excitement among fans, eager to see the beloved characters reunite on screen.
