NCIS: Tony & Ziva will finally give the couple the story they deserve after years of waiting. The upcoming NCIS spinoff will be the first to center on a specific pairing, and Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) are no doubt the best one to be featured. The couple has long been considered NCIS’ best romance, and a show dedicated to their lives following their long-awaited reunion will be something worth watching.
Tony and Ziva were great partners during the years they worked together in the MCRT, but the flagship series lacks something that the new spinoff will be able to make up for. That is, Tony and Ziva are never quite alone in the flagship. They share some moments here and there, but they are always part of a larger team — and NCIS: Tony and Ziva’s story is seeking to change that.
NCIS Never Fully Delivered On A Tony & Ziva Mission
Tony & Ziva Always Had Other Teammates To Rely On
Despite Tony and Ziva’s fantastic chemistry and rapport, we never get to see them working together on a private mission in NCIS. As partners, they sometimes visit suspects and crime scenes alone, and they have many moments where it is just the two of them working together. However, the rest of the MCRT members always join them soon after. The couple work together, but they never go on a shared mission.
This makes sense in the grand scheme of things because NCIS has always featured a team. Therefore, a mission that only required Tony and Ziva would have been difficult to achieve. However, it could have been done, making for a missed opportunity. Tony and Ziva are some of NCIS’ best characters and the fact that they never get to work on a mission together, alone, while relying only on their strengths, is something that can now be made up for in NCIS: Tony & Ziva.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva Looks Like A Proper Focus On Michael Weatherly & Cote de Pablo’s Characters
NCIS: Tony & Ziva Will Focus On The Couple’s Family Unit
Additionally, NCIS: Tony & Ziva’s first images have revealed a lot about the upcoming series and how much there is to look forward to. The images are centered on the small family unit between Michael Weatherly’s Tony, Cote de Pablo’s Ziva, and their daughter Tali, played by Isla Gie. It seems as though after years of seeing the pair alongside the MCRT, this will be the first time that Tony and Ziva will really get to shine.
After years of seeing the pair alongside the MCRT, this will be the first time that Tony and Ziva will really get to shine.
Since Tony and Ziva have no one to rely on but their family, NCIS: Tony & Ziva will have no choice but to really dig deep into their characters and showcase their relationship. There will be a particularly heavy focus on the spinoff’s exclusive characters because there isn’t any team to fall back on. NCIS: Tony & Ziva will likely still feature some exciting cases, but the strong focus on Tony and Ziva will help distinguish the show from the other projects in the NCIS universe.
