The actors behind Ziva and Tony are ready to get back into the swing of things with their characters in their brand-new spin-off. “We’ve been talking about this story for many years, and now with John McNamara at the helm, we are ready,” Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo said in a joint press release published by Deadline. “The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller coaster fueled by love, danger, tears and laughter. We also want to acknowledge and thank the fans from around the world who supported the ‘Tiva’ movement for years. To this day, they say hello in grocery stores and on the street to tell us how much these characters mean to them and ask what Tony and Ziva are up to now. This is for you!”

For fans who might not remember how Tony and Ziva leave the team, Ziva resigns during Season 10 of “NCIS.” She is presumed dead during Season 13 after going into hiding to protect Tony and Tali. Tony raises Tali alone, but when Season 16 rolls around, it’s revealed that Ziva is still alive. She helps Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) dodge danger and works out the trauma holding her back from being with Tony and her daughter, insisting that she can’t reveal herself until she’s brought them to justice — just one of many strange things about Ziva and Tony’s relationship. At the foot of Season 18, she reveals herself to Tony, and they and Tali head to Paris. And after 10 long years, that’s where “NCIS: Europe” will pick up sometime in the near future.
