The cancellation of NCIS: Tony & Ziva may have been swift, but the response has been anything but quiet. Michael Weatherly recently acknowledged a fan-led effort to revive the spin-off, sharing his gratitude after supporters launched a high-profile billboard campaign in New York City.
The Paramount+ series reunited Weatherly and Cote de Pablo in September 2025, continuing one of NCIS’s most beloved storylines. Critics responded warmly, with outlets like Variety and The Los Angeles Times praising the show’s confident storytelling and the stars’ “genuine chemistry.” The show debuted strongly, ranking second on Paramount+’s TV charts in both the US and UK.
However, viewership reportedly declined as the season progressed, a factor that may have influenced the streamer’s decision — especially amid widespread cost-cutting at Paramount following its merger with Skydance. With thousands of layoffs and executive reshuffles underway, even well-reviewed projects faced increased scrutiny.
