The NCIS universe is also facing a major change off-screen. CBS recently confirmed it will not move forward with NCIS: Tony & Ziva, the anticipated spin-off starring Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly. The decision surprised fans, especially after previous hints that Mark Harmon might reunite with the duo.
While no official reason was given, industry insiders suggest the show’s Paramount+ exclusivity and declining viewership played a role. Following the cancellation, de Pablo shared a heartfelt message alongside a throwback photo with Weatherly, reflecting on Tony and Ziva’s journey and thanking fans for their support.
Though January brings delays and cancellations, NCIS remains a cornerstone of network television. With Season 23 set to resume soon, fans are holding onto one thing the franchise has always delivered: emotional payoff worth waiting for.
