Here’s Everything We Know NCIS: TONY & ZIVA
By Movieguide® Contributor
The upcoming NCIS spinoff series that explores Tony and Ziva’s life after leaving the agency revealed the actors it has brought on to fill out the cast.
As production on NCIS: TONY & ZIVA begins in Budapest, showrunners have announced the actors who will be regulars on the show alongside Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo.
Isla Gie will play Tali, Tony and Ziva’s 12-year-old daughter; Amita Suman will play Claudette, the Chief Technical Officer at Tony’s private security company; Maximilian Osinski will play Boris, a Russian hacker; Nasssima Benchicou will play Martine, a former French intelligence agent; Julian Ovenden will play Jonah, the Secretary General of Interpol; Terence Maynard will play Dr. Lang, a gentle and probing therapist; Lari Rossi will play Sophie, Tali’s caregiver who has a background in the Special Air Service; and James D’Arcy will play Henry, a high-ranking official at Interpol.
These actors will join the NCIS universe in a series that explores the life and love of Tony and Ziva after they leave the agency. While Tony runs a successful private security company, the family is forced to go on the run after they are targeted by an international evil.
While focusing on the imminent threat, the show will also explore how the couple has made on since leaving NCIS and starting their new lives together as parents.
“We’re trying to address all of these questions, and the idea of trust, and how [Tony and Ziva] move forward… they’re trying to make things work while also parenting and having a lot of challenges thrown at them,” de Pablo told Variety in June.
“Every choice that Tony and Ziva have to make in their adventure, their child is first and foremost in the front of their mind,” Weatherly added. “When we were on the NCIS mothership, we didn’t have children.”
“When you have a child, you have to navigate what is best for them. And then maybe you have a co-parent that you have a tumultuous relationship with… and oh, wait, we also have to save the world,” he continued.
While the series is yet to have a release date, it has been confirmed it will stream on Paramount+. CBS Studios President David Stapf believes the show will “really elevate the strength of the franchise.”
