NCIS: Tony & Ziva Debuts on Paramount+ With Three Episodes and Strong Early Buzz

The spinoff shifts to a serialized, character‑first thriller that foregrounds Ziva’s recovery.

Overview

  • Paramount+ launched the first three installments on September 4, with the 10‑episode season rolling out Thursdays through an October 23 finale.
  • Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo return as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, now co‑parenting in Paris and forced onto a cross‑Europe run after an attack on Tony’s security firm.
  • Early viewer reactions on social media are broadly positive, with fans praising the performances, chemistry and the show’s fresh tone.
  • Interviews tease wedding imagery in early episodes that plays into an unreliable narrative device without confirming on‑screen nuptials.
  • The series uses flashbacks to fill in the ‘missing years’ since the pair’s 2020 reunion and gives Ziva a prominent therapy/PTSD arc noted by critics as more nuanced.
