#INTERVIEW: MICHAEL WEATHERLY & COTE DE PABLO ON “NCIS: TONY & ZIVA”

If you’re a fan of NCIS, you need no introduction to TONY & ZIVA! After filming nine seasons together and some electric chemistry, this power couple now have their own spinoff. The season finale streams October 24, 2025 only on Paramount+!

Toronto was in for a treat as stars Michael Weatherly (Tony DiNozzo) and Cote de Pablo (Ziva David) made their presence felt with a two-day press tour, including a panel Q&A with CHFI‘s Gurdeep Ahluwalia, hosted at Hotel X. We were thrilled to join Weatherly and de Pablo on the carpet as they graciously spent their time chatting with us.

NCIS: TONY & ZIVA reunites the beloved characters after it was believed that Ziva was no longer. Now she’s back and we learn that the couple have a daughter together, Tali and the season throws many new obstacles at them with them being at new stages in their lives.

Our chats with Weatherly and de Pablo here:

@mrwillwong The finale of NCIS: TONY & ZIVA airs 10.24.25 on Paramount+ and we were so lucky to chat with legends Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo about their explosive chemistry, and how they approached their roles in this spinoff! All seasons NCIS are streaming now on @Paramount+ Canada. #ncis #tonyandziva #ncistonyandziva #michaelweatherly #cotedepablo ♬ NCIS (Main Theme) – TV Series Library

While the season is set across Europe, we learned one cool fun fact we learned, is that a vast majority of it was filmed in Budapest and around Hungary, which showed great versatility acting as other places like Switzerland and Germany.

The two stars have a playful, fun chemistry even off-camera which makes so much sense why it translates so perfectly on-screen. Fans cannot get enough and it was amazing seeing them take photos with a long line of fans post Q&A, as a chic but very packed reception took place at The Playbook Commons, located in Hotel X. There was a Glambot-style camera, photo ops, series-inspired cocktails and lots of delectable bites!

Will there be a season two? We’re waiting anxiously!

#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “NCIS: TONY & ZIVA”

Paramount+ today unveiled the official trailer for the highly anticipated original series NCIS: TONY & ZIVA during their panel at San Diego Comic-Con to a crowd of fans in the Indigo Ballroom. The panel featured an exclusive conversation with executive producers and series stars Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly and executive producer and showrunner John McNamara, moderated by NCIS star Brian Dietzen. The 10-episode series is the newest installment of the global NCIS franchise and will premiere on Thursday, September 4, with three episodes, exclusively on Paramount+ in Canada, the U.S., U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Japan. Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale on October 23, 2025.

NCIS: TONY & ZIVA picks up after Ziva’s supposed death when Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris. Since then – and where we find them in NCIS: TONY & ZIVA – Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together. 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 they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.
