Ahead of their NCIS spinoff, Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo have reunited with original franchise actor Sasha Alexander. Despite the recent cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, the NCIS universe remains strong, with new spinoffs on the horizon. One of these is NCIS: Tony & Ziva, featuring Weatherly and de Pablo reprising their roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. This new project will stream on Paramount+ instead of airing on CBS.
Before returning to the show, Weatherly and de Pablo are presenting a rewatch podcast called Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch. Sasha Alexander recently appeared on the podcast, and the trio shared sweet reunion photos on Alexander’s Instagram.
The podcast features Weatherly and de Pablo discussing the series with various guests who have been involved in the franchise, both past and present.
Can Sasha Alexander’s Kate Todd Still Make Appearances in the NCIS Universe?
Nearly two decades after Kate Todd’s devastating death in the NCIS season 2 finale, her character was recently reintroduced in the 1000th episode using archive material. Despite this, Sasha Alexander’s comeback is still possible.
NCIS has a history of bringing Alexander back post-Kate’s death. After Ari killed Kate, Alexander appeared in the first two episodes of season 3 as projections. She could reprise her role as a hallucination if NCIS season 22 decides to bring her back.
Additionally, Alexander may participate in other capacities, such as directing episodes of the upcoming NCIS: Tony & Ziva. She previously directed an episode of Michael Weatherly’s Bull and has a positive relationship with Cote de Pablo. If she directs an episode, it will be her first official participation with NCIS since leaving the show.
