Tony & Ziva’s Place In The NCIS Timeline Revealed (& It’s Surprising)
New information about NCIS: Tony & Ziva confirms where its events take place in the timeline. While the NCIS franchise continues on network TV with the return of NCIS season 22 and the premiere of NCIS: Origins, it is showing no signs of slowing down soon, with another offshoot in the works. NCIS: Tony & Ziva will be the first series in the universe that will be on a streaming service, as it is set to debut sometime next year on Paramount+. Despite being on a different platform, it remains connected with the bigger NCIS umbrella.
Marking the reunion project of Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo’s star-crossed lovers in NCIS, the upcoming spinoff’s main events will take place in modern times but with a caveat per a new report from Deadline. During the show’s MIPCOM panel, it was confirmed that NCIS: Tony & Ziva will pick up after Ziva’s supposed death and Tony’s departure from MCRT. It will then tackle subsequent events until Tony’s security firm in Paris is attacked. De Pablo says that it’s part of giving viewers answers about the characters’ fates after they left the main show. Read her full quote below:
Why NCIS: Tony & Ziva Picks Up A Decade Ago
Much Has Happened To The Couple After They Left MCRT
As de Pablo explains, the reason for NCIS: Tony & Ziva‘s story picking up more than 10 years ago is to give viewers an idea about what happened to the characters since they were last seen in the main show. Ziva’s death being fake was revealed several years later as she reunited with Gibbs to hunt down her mysterious foes. After that crisis was averted, she left Washington DC to reunite with her family in Paris. While Tony returned during Ducky’s special NCIS season 21 tribute, not much is known about the life he led prior to finding Ziva again.
