The series was a Paramount+ original spin-off of\u00a0<strong><em>NCIS<\/em><\/strong>, which premiered in 2003. The series followed\u00a0Anthony DiNozzo (<strong>Michael Weatherly<\/strong>) and Ziva David (<strong>Cote De Pablo<\/strong>)\u00a0years after fans last saw them together in<em>\u00a0NCIS<\/em>, now co-parenting their daughter, Tali (<strong>Isla Gie<\/strong>). They must go on the run for the safety of their family when Tony\u2019s security firm is hacked while also trying not to fall in love again. At the conclusion of the season, Tiva fans got to see their happily ever after while exploring and growing the characters beyond their last appearance. When the show was cancelled, Weatherly released a joint statement with his co-star, but now De Pablo is sharing her thoughts on Instagram, saying:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section id=\"article-body\" class=\"article-body valnet-segment-Tv adsninja-injected-repeatable-ad-beforeend\">\n<div class=\"content-block-regular\">\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTwelve years ago, after my final scene on NCIS, Michael and I walked back to our trailers and this photo was taken.

The wishlist was more than warranted,\u00a0with the series snagging a spot in Paramount+ Top 10 each week it aired, a promising sign to the streamer that people loved seeing this continuation of a fan-favorite ship\u2019s story. That, of course, could always do with a bit of nostalgia, which paved the way for Weatherly\u2019s hopes for Season 2. The wishlist included, of course, their NCIS co-star\u00a0<strong>Sean Murray<\/strong>\u00a0as Timothy McGee (who was affectionately referenced in\u00a0<em>Tony &amp; Ziva<\/em>). Weatherly explained his wishlist was created with the fans in mind:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat we were talking about is, since we did come up with this,\u00a0<strong>what would the fans want to see?<\/strong>\u00a0And one of the things I\u2019m hearing a lot about is\u00a0<em>who\u00a0<\/em>they would want to see, and is there a way for, say, some of the characters we know and love to pop up? It\u2019s such a cool universe that we\u2019ve created. It\u2019s outside of the procedural domain. Deeks and Kensi could pop up, Sam Hanna could pop up, or our lovable Probie, Timmy McGee.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cancellation of\u00a0NCIS: Tony &amp; Ziva\u00a0was a brutal blow for many right at the end of the year.
