Michael Weatherly has finally broken his silence on a possible NCIS return, and fans are hanging onto every word. Known for his charming portrayal of Tony DiNozzo, Weatherly left a lasting mark on the series. While rumors of his comeback have circulated for years, the actor recently made it clear: he’d only return under one very specific condition.

According to Weatherly, the only scenario that would draw him back is a reunion with Cote de Pablo’s Ziva David. Their on-screen chemistry and unresolved storyline remain one of the show’s most iconic arcs. For many, the idea of seeing “Tiva” together again is enough to reignite interest in the series—even for just one final storyline.

This statement has fans hopeful but also cautious. It suggests Weatherly’s return isn’t off the table, but it hinges on something beyond contract negotiations—it requires creative alignment and the right story. Without Ziva, he’s made it clear there’s no Tony.

As the NCIS universe continues to evolve with spinoffs and cast changes, the potential return of Tony and Ziva could be exactly the spark the franchise needs. For now, fans will have to wait and see if producers take the hint and make the long-awaited reunion happen.
