June 17 (UPI) -- The latest arrival to the NCIS franchise, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, will premiere with three episodes Sept. 4, Paramount+ announced Tuesday.
Former NCIS stars Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly return to play the titular couple, who reunite "after Ziva's supposed death" in Paris. The pair now have a daughter, Tali.
An attack on Tony's security company forces the family to go into hiding as they "try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other," an official synopsis states.
In addition to the release date, the show's key art was also released. Tony and Ziva are shown standing back-to-back with a bridge behind them.
"We're beyond excited to finally share Tony and Ziva's next chapter with the incredible fans around the world who never stopped believing this day would come," said de Pablo and Weatherly in a statement.
The series will also star Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Nassima Benchicou, Terence Maynard, Julian Ovenden and James D'Arcy.

Michael Weatherly's 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' spinoff finally gets premiere date
Michael Weatherly's 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' spinoff finally gets premiere date Show Caption Hide Caption 'Tony and Ziva' trailer has Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pable on 'NCIS' The first "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" teaser drops with views of reunited Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo running for their lives in style and in Europe. There are official corporate announcements of TV show premieres, and then there's Michael Weatherly's way. Weatherly, 56, seems to have forgotten his shirt when posting a video to his Instagram account on June 17, to declare when "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" will premiere on Paramount+, co-starring Cote de Pablo. "There it is, I see it, it's coming Sept. 4," the unshaven Weatherly says to the camera with a cheeky smile during the informative yet nonsensical video. Weatherly added in the comments, "It's like the fine wine people think must be appropriate, and timing, the decanting and ultimately the perfect setting." To be fair, a fully and nattily dressed Weatherly, along with de Pablo, posted a video on the Paramount+ Instagram account announcing the premiere date earlier on June 17. It was a Save the Date message that showed the actors back in full-banter form. "That's my line, you always take my line," De Pablo lamented at one point. When does 'NCIS: Tony and Ziva' return? To quote Weatherly, "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 4. The first trailer shows Tony DiNozzo (Weatherly) and Ziva David (de Pablo) still have that perfect sizzle in the "NCIS" reunion series. The couple briefly lives the dream in Paris, running their security firm while caring for their 12-year-old daughter, Tali (Isla Gie). But their happily ever after is blown apart, sending the family on the run throughout Europe in the action series.

‘Real Women Have Curves: The Musical' bows out of Broadway
The musical 'Real Women Have Curves' will close its run on Broadway on June 29. News of this cancellation comes less than two months after the official show debuted on April 27 at The James Earl Jones Theatre in New York City. By the time the cast takes its final bow, they will have showcased 31 previews and 73 performances. The musical, directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, had received positive reviews from critics at the New York Times, Variety and others. However, it struggled to compete at the box office. According to the New York Times, it grossed about $400,000 most weeks, which is below the expected amount for a large-scale Broadway musical. Since the show's debut, ticket sales failed to reach full capacity, according to data from Broadway World. In a final effort to boost ticket sales, the ensemble performed the song 'Jugglin' live at the 78th annual Tony Awards on June 8. Yet by June 15, just over 63% of total seats had been sold that week. The show received two Tony nominations; first for best original score, which was credited to Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez, as well as best featured actress in a musical for lead matriarch Justina Machado. Although the show won neither award, the producers expressed pride in representing immigrant communities on Broadway. 'We have been working on developing this show for the last five years and could have never predicted that when it made its way to Broadway it would be timelier than ever,' said producers Barry Weissler and Jack Noseworthy in a statement. 'Bringing this joyful immigrant story that explores the American Dream to the stage has been an honor and a responsibility that we don't take lightly, especially in today's political climate.' The musical was adapted from Josefina López's 1988 play and the popular 2002 HBO film — which introduced audiences to the Emmy-winning actor America Ferrera. At its core, it centers on Ana García (Tatianna Córdoba), a driven teen with educational aspirations, who often bumps heads with her traditional and menopausal mother, Carmen (Machado). Inspired by López's own experience, the story takes place inside a garment factory in the immigrant neighborhood of Boyle Heights, where workers race to complete orders as they bear the summer heat of 1987 amid looming deportation fears. It's a theme that hits close to home, given the recent ICE sweeps taking place in real-life Los Angeles. 'This story [came out] exactly at this time when we need a story to change the narrative about immigrants being criminals,' said López in April, referring to President Trump's hasty deportations of immigrants to El Salvador without due process. López had hoped the musical could have a lasting effect on the conversation surrounding immigrants, similar to the impact Jonathan Larson's 1996 musical 'Rent' had on the national conversation surrounding HIV and AIDS. 'It takes getting to Broadway to change culture,' López said. While audiences will only have a short window to catch a final glimpse of the musical, an original Broadway cast recording was released June 6 from Ghostlight Records and is now available to stream on all platforms.

Column: ‘Kids get to be the heroes' in Paramount School of the Arts musical in Aurora
After seven years in the role with the Paramount Theatre as its young performer supervisor, Bailey O'Neil certainly could be described as the 'kid whisperer' of the downtown Aurora venue. She was, after all, in charge of all those youngsters in 'The Sound of Music' and 'School of Rock,' as well as in 'Frozen' and the Bold Series production, 'Fun Home.' In addition to teaching at Paramount School of the Arts, which attracts students from beyond the Fox Valley, O'Neil also directed its previous camp performances 'Matilda Jr.' and 'Mean Girls Jr.' And next week, under her leadership, more than 50 kids will again take to the summer stage in 'The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical,' where they will, as the press release put it, 'play gods, battle monsters and save the world' in this action-packed fantasy based on Greek mythology. Props to this talented young Aurora native, who is working with more than twice as many performers as the typical number in a professional Paramount musical. But O'Neil relishes this role because she gets to see the beginning stages of so many, well, 'stage journeys' – including those who love theater but start off shy and unsure, then gradually 'begin to warm up every day and come out of their shell.' As someone who truly enjoys working with kids, that's got to be a big payoff, as is watching the students in their third year of camp take on leadership roles, she noted. Still, it's a lot of young people who are on a quick turnaround for these shows that are put on by the school. So yes, O'Neil also notices 'jaws drop,' and even witnesses 'a little panic in their eyes' when she tells them they only have a week to memorize the scripts. 'They have so much less time to prepare,' O'Neil pointed out, adding that the 30 hours of rehearsal also include a scavenger hunt at the beginning of the process, which she considers an important way for the young performers to bond. 'But the sooner the script is out of their hands,' O'Neil insisted, 'the better the work becomes.' And the kids, she told me, 'really lock in. … They get so focused' and are 'down for anything' because they 'love theater and are invested in it.' Adding to the excitement: these youngsters are supported by the Paramount's professional design and technical staff, and will perform in full custom on its historic stage. 'The Lightning Thief,' which centers around 12-year-old demigod Percy Jackson and the demigods of Camp Half-Blood, has been especially fun for the young performers – and seven technical theater students – O'Neil told me, because it is full of action and surprises, including fight choreography, puppetry and plenty of sound effects. 'They are so talented … their dancing is off the charts,' O'Neil said. 'When you put them on the stage and in costume and give them a mic, there is always a big shift as they become their character. 'Sometimes it happens overnight when those neurons connect and it all falls into place.' The stars also seem to be aligning for this talented young Aurora native who grew up in theater camps, and when old enough became a camp counselor. So it's what O'Neil described as a 'natural progression' she will be taking on an important new role later this year as an assistant director for Stephen Schellhardt in the Paramount's iconic holiday spectacle 'White Christmas.' No surprise, she's 'thrilled' to be working on this beloved and nostalgic blockbuster musical. But for now, O'Neil just wants to showcase the talents of 50-plus hard-working kids who are on an epic adventure of their own. Performances for 'The Lightning Thief' are at 7:30 p.m. June 27 and at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. June 28. To purchase the $15 tickets for the show go to call 630-896-6666 or stop by the Paramount box office. 'I love shows where kids get to be the heroes,' said O'Neil. 'It's just so fun to see where they are on the first day (of camp) and where they end.'
