What Has Cote de Pablo Been Doing Since Departing from NCIS?

Following her departure from the CBS series NCIS, Cote de Pablo has ventured into various projects, including the short film “The Crossing,” the TV limited series “The Dovekeepers,” and the TV movie “Prototype.” In 2018, she and Michael Weatherly collaborated on plans to executive produce a CBS detective drama called MIA, though it has yet to materialize.

NCIS Fans Anticipate the Tiva Reunion: Will It Finally Happen?

The return of Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs and the highly anticipated reunion between Tony and Ziva remain at the forefront of NCIS fans’ desires, as they have eagerly awaited this moment for nearly a decade.

When questioned about the possibility of Michael Weatherly making a guest appearance following the conclusion of “Bull,” showrunner Steven D. Binder remained elusive. While he hinted at Weatherly potentially taking a break, he did not completely dismiss the idea, leaving room for unexpected surprises.

While Binder didn’t directly address Cote de Pablo’s potential return, NCIS has a track record of delivering unforeseen twists. If the writers can craft a compelling narrative justification for the reunion, fans may finally see their long-held wish fulfilled.
