NCIS: Tony & Ziva Premieres With Three Episodes on Paramount+ to Strong Early Fan Response

The Europe-set thriller leans into serialized storytelling and Ziva’s recovery arc, using flashbacks and a headline wedding sequence to bridge the years since the pair’s 2020 reunion.

Overview

  • Paramount+ launched the 10-episode season on September 4 with three installments, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays through an October 23 finale.
  • Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo return as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, now co-parenting in Paris before an attack on Tony’s security firm forces the family into a cross‑Europe conspiracy.
  • The show fills in 2020–2025 through flashbacks and features a prominently trailed wedding set piece filmed in a 19th‑century Budapest church.
  • Coverage highlights a sustained focus on Ziva’s therapy and PTSD, with early commentary noting a more nuanced, character‑driven approach than the procedural roots.
  • Viewers on social media report enthusiastic early reactions and praise the leads’ chemistry; the series streams on Paramount+ in the US and select international markets, with an ensemble including Isla Gie, Julian Ovenden, James D’Arcy, Amita Suman, Nassima Benchicou, Lara Rossi and Maximilian Osinski.
