<p id=”par-3_81″>Weatherly starred in 13 seasons of the hit procedural, appearing in over 300 episodes before leaving the show in 2015. Last year, he returned as the character in the Paramount+ spinoff series <em>NCIS: Tony & Ziva. </em>That series – which also starred Cote de Pablo as Ziva David – was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ncis-spinoff-tony-and-ziva-canceled-michael-weatherly-cote-de-pablo-react.html/”>canceled after just one season</a>, much to the dismay of loyal fans. There’s no word yet on whether de Pablo will be back as Ziva in the new episodes of <em>NCIS</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-4_57″>The news of Weatherly’s return to the <em>NCIS</em>verse comes shortly after CBS announced that original <em>NCIS </em>star Mark Harmon would have an onscreen role in all 10 episodes of prequel series <em>NCIS: Origins</em> Season 3. His Leroy Jethro Gibbs character will be part of a present-day mystery tied to his time at Camp Pendleton in the 1990s.</p>
<p id=”par-5_19″><em>NCIS </em>Season 24 will air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT in fall 2026 on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. </p>
