The return of NCIS in 2024 is generating buzz about the possible comeback of fan-favorite characters, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, in Season 21. Fans, who had long shipped the duo, were disappointed when they didn’t reunite onscreen until Ziva’s departure in Season 11. Despite Tony leaving after her supposed death in Season 13, their offscreen reunion in Season 16 sparked speculation of a full-scale comeback.

Actor Michael Weatherly has added fuel to the fire with cryptic tweets, responding to fans’ pleas for a Tony-Ziva return. While he hinted at “interesting moments” in the upcoming year, opinions among fans are divided. Some advocate for a special appearance or cameo, especially in the show’s final episode, rather than a permanent return to the cast. Concerns include character development stagnation, particularly for Tony, who was a regular for 12 years.

As of now, there’s no official confirmation regarding the return of the beloved characters. The ongoing writers’ strike further delays the show’s return, possibly pushing it to early 2024 or beyond. Fans remain on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the fate of “Tiva” in the upcoming season.
