NCIS: Tony & Ziva will premiere Thursday, September 4 on Paramount+, kicking off with a three-episode drop that reboots one of broadcast’s most iconic pairings for a globally-distributed streaming run.
The ten-episode series picks up with Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo—both returning as stars and executive producers—as Tony and Ziva deal with parenthood, past trauma, and an emerging threat that sends them fleeing across Europe with their daughter, Tali. Episodes will roll out weekly through October 23, with the official trailer and key art released today as part of a multi-market push by Paramount Global.
The revival plays both to nostalgia and momentum. First teased as a fan-fueled possibility, the project is now a platform play—extending the NCIS brand internationally while deepening the serialized arc model Paramount+ has used with recent Frasier and Criminal Minds revivals. This marks the streamer’s latest pivot toward franchise-driven originals that straddle broadcast legacy and global audience growth.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva is structured as a standalone action-thriller with familial stakes, placing the former agents in a post-agency world where trust and survival go hand in hand. When Tony’s security firm is compromised, the family goes on the run, sparking a journey across Europe that fuses spy intrigue with emotional fallout from Ziva’s faked death and their years apart. Behind the camera, John McNamara (The Magicians, Aquarius) leads the creative as showrunner and EP.
The cast includes Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, and Lara Rossi, with Julian Ovenden and James D’Arcy joining in recurring roles. Executive producers also include Laurie Lieser, Christina Strain, Shelley Meals, and Mairzee Almas.
Launching in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and key international territories, NCIS: Tony & Ziva is set up to deliver across core markets while laying groundwork for potential follow-ups. For Paramount+, the play isn’t just fan service—it’s IP continuity with international upside.
NCIS: Tony & Ziva begins September 4 on Paramount+, with new episodes every Thursday.
