The two protagonists of the European series, Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, revealed the name of the split on Tuesday on Zoom.
After referencing a pair of titles that had been mentioned, NCIS: Europe and NCIS: Trust No One, the duo announced that the official title of their new series will be NCIS: Tony & Ziva.
“It makes it really easy because the fans will know exactly what the show is. It’s about Tony and Ziva in Europe,” de Pablo said.
The action-packed spin-off series, which will run for ten episodes, follows Tony (Weatherly) and Ziva (de Pablo) as they go on the run through the Old Continent.
Filming on the series - the second expansion of the NCIS franchise outside the US after NCIS: Sydney - will begin this summer in Budapest. John McNamara is the writer/showrunner.
In the NCIS Mothership series, after the supposed death of Ziva (de Pablo), Tony (Weatherly) left the NCIS team to raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was found alive, completing one last mission with NCIS before being reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris.
Since then - and where we find them again in the new Paramount+ series - 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 to find out who's after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.
“I expect intrigue, romance, a background of Europe, impossible situations that will make our life very complicated but somehow a little something about love,” de Pablo said.
Weatherly, de Pablo and McNamara executive produce NCIS: Tony & Ziva with Laurie Lieser, Christina Strain and Shelley Meals. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
