Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo are busier than ever! The duo, set to film the NCIS spin-off “Tony and Ziva,” walked the blue carpet at the 63rd Monte-Carlo Television Festival, joined by some familiar faces.
Pictured in Monaco on Saturday, Michael and Cote were spotted alongside their former co-stars, Brian Dietzen and Wilmer Valderrama. The dynamic duo had also reunited with Brian and Wilmer just a day before at the festival’s opening ceremony.
Beaming as they caught up on the blue carpet, the quartet commemorated NCIS’ 1000th episode, celebrating the milestone with an epic three-tiered cake.
Michael, 55, looked dapper in a white suit and pale pink shirt, while Cote, 44, was radiant in a bright red maxi dress and gold jewelry.
The co-stars, who celebrated NCIS’ 1000th episode, are gearing up to shoot “Tony and Ziva” across Europe this summer. They’ve also teamed up on the podcast “Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch” this month.
Details surrounding “Tony and Ziva” are currently under wraps, but the show is expected to premiere in the latter half of 2024, consisting of ten episodes.
“Tony left the NCIS team to raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before reuniting with Tony and their daughter in Paris,” teases the synopsis.
Michael and Cote are gearing up to film “NCIS: Tony and Ziva” over the summer. Since reuniting in Paris, Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together. When Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, figure out who is after them, and learn to trust each other again to achieve their unconventional happily ever after.
Cote teased fans about what’s to come: “I expect intrigue, romance, the backdrop of Europe, impossible situations that will complicate our lives, but also a little something about love.”
With the spin-off in development, fans are wondering if Tony and Ziva might get a crossover episode with NCIS in the future—a prospect that showrunner Steve D. Binder is open to.
Speaking to TV Line, the NCIS EP said, “I would love to do that, and I have a feeling Michael would be up for it. So, we’re all for it.”
“I’m absolutely open to any ideas anybody has,” added Steve. “They are totally welcome to show them to me and see what we can come up with.”
Fingers crossed that Tony and Ziva get to reunite with their former colleagues in a special episode!
