# *NCIS* Season 24 Could Continue Tony & Ziva’s Story After Spinoff Cancellation
The story of **Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David** may not be over after all. Following the cancellation of *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* after one season, CBS appears to have found a new way to continue the beloved couple’s journey through the original *NCIS* series.
The spinoff, which reunited **Michael Weatherly** and **Cote de Pablo** as the iconic pair, was one of the most anticipated shows of the 2025–2026 TV season. It also marked a major change for the franchise as the first *NCIS* series released exclusively on streaming through Paramount+ instead of traditional network television.
The series followed Tony and Ziva years after their days with the Major Case Response Team, showing them living in Paris while raising their daughter, Tali. Their quieter life was turned upside down when a mysterious incident involving Tony’s security company placed the family in danger.
Although fans were disappointed by the cancellation, the open-ended storyline left plenty of questions — and Michael Weatherly’s upcoming return to *NCIS* could provide answers.
## Tony DiNozzo’s Return Opens the Door for More Answers
CBS recently confirmed that Weatherly will return as Tony DiNozzo for a major role in *NCIS* Season 24. While details about his storyline remain secret, his comeback creates an opportunity for the show to revisit what happened after the events of *Tony & Ziva*.
Fans are now eager to learn more about Tony’s life, Ziva’s situation, and how their daughter Tali is doing following the events of the spinoff.
While a second season of *NCIS: Tony & Ziva* would have been the ideal outcome for many viewers, Tony’s return to the flagship series may be the closest chance fans have to see the story continue.
## Could Ziva David Return Too?
The biggest question now is whether **Cote de Pablo will also return as Ziva David**.
CBS has not confirmed her involvement, but the network has also not ruled it out. Some fans believe the lack of a direct answer could mean producers are keeping a potential Ziva appearance secret.
Seeing Tony and Ziva reunite again would be a major moment for longtime *NCIS* viewers. The pair last shared significant screen time years ago before returning separately to the franchise.
If Ziva does appear in Season 24, the challenge will be balancing their emotional storyline with the ongoing cases and characters of the main *NCIS* team.
With Tony back and the door still open for Ziva’s return, the next season of *NCIS* could become one of the most exciting chapters in franchise history.
