NCIS is not expected to make its return until 2024, and the rumors circulating about the potential comeback of Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David have sparked a range of reactions.
While there has been speculation about Agents Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) returning in NCIS Season 21, opinions on whether this is a good idea are divided.
Fans have long hoped for a reunion between Tony and Ziva, especially after Ziva’s departure in season 11 and Tony’s exit following her supposed death in season 13. Their offscreen reconciliation in season 16 left viewers wanting more, with actor Michael Weatherly fueling the speculation through cryptic tweets.
On New Year’s Day, Weatherly teased a potential return, hinting at an interesting year for such moments. Despite the characters’ popularity during their time on NCIS, not everyone is thrilled about the prospect of Tony and Ziva returning as regular cast members.
Many fans express the desire for a special appearance, perhaps in the show’s final episode, rather than a regular comeback. Some argue that bringing them back as main cast members could impede the show’s progress.
Opinions on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit are varied, with some fans expressing reluctance to see Tony and Ziva return, while others remain hopeful for a brief reunion. The sentiment appears to be split between those who appreciate the characters’ history on the show and those who believe their return might hinder the progress of the series.
Despite the ongoing speculation, there has been no official confirmation regarding the return of Tony and Ziva to NCIS. The uncertainty is further compounded by the writers’ strike, which has been ongoing for the past month, potentially delaying the show’s return until early 2024 or later.
