NCIS Fans Buzzing: Michael Weatherly’s TV Break Sparks Tony’s Return Speculation!
NCIS fans are abuzz with excitement over reports suggesting that Michael Weatherly may make a return to the long-standing police procedural show as Tony DiNozzo.
Weatherly’s departure from the series after 13 seasons left many fans longing for more, especially regarding the unresolved storyline involving his character’s romantic interest, Ziva David, portrayed by Cote de Pablo.
The decision for Weatherly to leave NCIS stemmed mainly from his desire to explore new acting opportunities after portraying the same character for over a decade. Subsequently, he found success as the lead in the legal drama series Bull, which recently concluded after six seasons.
Despite his hiatus from television, speculation mounts that Weatherly might reprise his role in NCIS, particularly given executive producer Steven D. Binder’s open invitation for Tony’s return.
Binder has expressed enthusiasm for a possible reunion between Tony and Ziva, highlighting the chemistry between Weatherly and de Pablo.
While nothing has been confirmed, fans hold onto hope for a “Tiva” reunion in the upcoming 21st season of NCIS. With Weatherly’s schedule now open, the prospect of his return to the show appears more plausible than ever.
In the meantime, fans eagerly await any updates regarding Tony DiNozzo’s potential comeback to their screens.
