“Is Michael Weatherly Making a Stunning NCIS Comeback? Fans’ Hopes Soar After This Cryptic Tweet!”
NCIS, the long-running CBS military police procedural series, is gearing up for its second season, and fans are eagerly anticipating what’s in store. While NCIS Season 21 may not feature key stars like Mark Harmon, there’s still hope among fans for the return of some of their favorite characters from the past. Michael Weatherly, known for his role as Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, has recently sparked intrigue among fans with a tweet that suggests his potential comeback in NCIS Season 21.
In July 2023, Michael Weatherly dropped hints about a possible return to ‘NCIS’ on Twitter. These hints piqued the interest of fans who would love to see him reprise his role as Tony DiNozzo in Season 21.
Weatherly’s teasing tweets began with a photo of a friend lightly smacking the back of his head, a gesture reminiscent of what Mark Harmon’s Leroy Jethro Gibbs would do to Tony. Weatherly humorously captioned the photo with, “A friend gave me the DiNozzo/Gibbs smack.”
Four days later, on July 27, 2023, Weatherly posted another tweet that left fans speculating about his return. He mentioned “very exciting” things on the horizon, alluding to a significant event in the late 1970s. Fans were left wondering whether he was hinting at his potential return to the popular series.
As it turns out, Michael Weatherly is reportedly in negotiations for a comeback. After leaving ‘NCIS’ in 2016 following a 13-year stint on the show, he pursued other opportunities, including the series ‘Bull.’ Now, with ‘Bull’ concluded, he is in discussions about returning to ‘NCIS.’ Notably, Weatherly is said to be interested in returning alongside Cote de Pablo, who portrayed Ziva David, and Robert Wagner, who portrayed his father.
While the prospect of Weatherly’s return excites NCIS producers, it appears that not all of his demands align with the show’s plans. According to a source, Weatherly’s eagerness and demands have caused some friction. The source expressed that Michael “loves to stir things up and get fans excited about his comeback,” but his demands are causing some frustration among the show’s decision-makers. Furthermore, reports indicate that NCIS producers may prioritize the return of Mark Harmon over Weatherly.
