Michael Weatherly, a former NCIS actor, teased fans of the popular procedural drama that two of their favorite characters might soon reunite as part of an “interesting year” to come.
NCIS is a military procedural drama that is a spin-off of CBS’ JAG and centers on a fictitious group of agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
The 2003 debut of the series, originally known as Navy CIS, sparked the creation of several spin-offs over the years, including NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, and NCIS: Hawai’i.
Currently available on Disney +, NCIS will have a crossover episode on January 2, 2023.
Is Tony coming back to NCIS?
The article claims that while the producers of the show are eager for Tony, aka Michael, to come back, they are “balking” at his insistence that they also bring back his co-star Cote de Pablo, who played his on-screen father Robert Wagner and Ziva David, who served as his TV love interest.
Fans are confident that Michael will reprise his role at some point shortly after he recently dropped significant hints about his potential return and a reunion with Cote.
Why do we think Tony is coming back to NCIS?
Weatherly recently mentioned on Twitter that Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) and his character, Agent Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo, might reunite in the upcoming 2023 season.
When Weatherly shared a video wishing everyone a happy new year, a supporter commented, “We all would rather look at you and Ziva reuniting.” “Stay tuned… for this could be an interesting year for such “moments”,” the speaker said. By quoting the tweet, Weatherly reacted.
Weatherly most recently made an appearance in the Season 13 finale in 2016, where he discovered that Ziva had died in an attack and had left behind a daughter, Tali (played by twins Emelia and Layla Golfieri).
The fan theory that Ziva was still alive was later proven true when she made a surprise appearance in Season 17 of the show after going on the run for a while. He had left for Paris with Tali at the time of his exit from the show, but the fan theory was still alive.
Michael Weatherly’s comments on joining NCIS again?
Michael hinted at a potential reunion for Tony and Ziva in a Twitter remark on a reflective post from New Year’s Day earlier this year. Happy New Year!, the tweet said. It is time to consider the passage of time and savor the present.

Tony Coming back to NCIS – FAQs
Is DiNozzo going back to NCIS?
Weatherly recently mentioned on Twitter that Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) and his character, Agent Anthony “Tony” DiNozzo, might reunite in the upcoming 2023 season.
Does Tony DiNozzo come back to NCIS after season 15?
To the fans’ regret, the 13th season of NCIS in 2015 marked the abrupt end of Weatherly’s involvement with the show. Any long-running program is likely to experience some cast changes over time, regardless of how significant a character Michael Weatherly’s Tony DiNozzo was on NCIS. By the time Season 13 of NCIS ended, Weatherly had left the organization.
Will DiNozzo return to NCIS season 20?
In light of the historic NCIS season 20, some former fan favorites may return, but the plan is particularly bad for DiNozzo & Gibbs. NCIS season 20 may bring back several, if not many, former cast members, but Tony DiNozzo and Leroy Gibbs’ involvement in the comeback plan would be pointless.
