The NCIS franchise has built its reputation on thrilling investigations, strong team dynamics, and locations tied to U.S. naval crime. But the newest spinoff is rewriting the playbook entirely. Instead of another city-based office like NCIS: Los Angeles or Hawaiʻi, the spotlight shifts to two of the most beloved characters in the series’ history: Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. Their long-awaited reunion takes center stage in NCIS: Tony & Ziva, making this the first spinoff named after its stars instead of a place.

The series follows Tony, Ziva, and their daughter Tali as they try to live a quiet life in Paris. But when Tony’s security company is attacked, the family is forced to go on the run across Europe. It’s a setup that blends romance, espionage, and family drama into a story unlike anything NCIS fans have seen before. Rather than focusing on weekly case-of-the-week investigations, the new show promises a more serialized, high-stakes adventure with plenty of personal tension between Tony and Ziva.

Actors Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo aren’t just reprising their roles—they’re also serving as executive producers. For years, fans of “Tiva” have wanted closure to their on-again, off-again romance, and now the pair are finally delivering. The showrunners promise not just action and suspense, but also the “romantic payoff” that fans have been waiting for since Ziva’s original departure from the main series.

NCIS: Tony & Ziva will debut September 4, 2025, exclusively on Paramount+. Unlike previous entries in the franchise, this one is designed for streaming from the ground up, with its story unfolding across Europe instead of a U.S. city. It’s bold, ambitious, and a complete departure from the NCIS formula—exactly why it might be the spinoff fans didn’t expect, but the one they’ve always wanted.
