The latest “NCIS” spinoff is already approaching the end of its first season, with only a few episodes left until the finale. Original “NCIS” series alumni Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo returned to the franchise as Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo and Ziva David in the Paramount+ series “NCIS: Tony & Ziva,” putting the characters and their complex lives at the forefront since they left the team.

When Tony’s security company faces an attack from unknown malicious forces, the family goes on the run across Europe, all while figuring out who is after them, according to Paramount.
