Tony & Ziva: A New Chapter Ignites the NCIS Franchise
Tony & Ziva: A New Chapter ushers in a transformative era for the NCIS franchise, drawing both long-time fans and new viewers into a gripping narrative set against the romantic yet perilous backdrop of Paris. Launching September 4 exclusively on Paramount+, the highly anticipated series reunites Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, now navigating the complexities of parenthood with their daughter Tali, played by Isla Gie.
From the outset, the series establishes an emotional core with the tease of a wedding, an idea inspired by de Pablo’s own creative input. The dynamic between Tony and Ziva feels more genuine than ever, thanks in part to de Pablo’s real-life experiences as a mother, which lend vulnerability and depth to her portrayal. This authenticity is further enhanced by Weatherly’s dual role as both star and executive producer, helping steer the evolution of his character from a wisecracking agent to the more introspective head of a Parisian security firm. Episode three marks a particularly pivotal moment for Tony, who is shaken by a personal betrayal that forces the character into uncharted emotional territory.
Filmed across iconic European locations including Paris, Budapest, and the Canary Islands, the show boasts cinematic visuals that match the heightened stakes of its storyline. The international production values signal a bold shift for the franchise, drawing comparisons to high-caliber global thrillers.
The anticipation surrounding Tony & Ziva has translated into immediate success, with its trailer becoming the most-watched for any NCIS first-season launch on Paramount+. Announced initially as a 10-episode limited series, the overwhelming response from viewers suggests the possibility of future installments.
Rather than simply reuniting two beloved characters, Tony & Ziva builds upon their shared history to explore what it means to create a family while confronting threats that could tear them apart. The series blends action, romance, and suspense, setting a new standard for storytelling within the NCIS universe and proving that love—and danger—can thrive even in the city of lights.
STAY TUNED !
