'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reveal their secret tribute to 'NCIS' O.G. Mark Harmon
Weatherly and de Pablo joined forces with "Tony & Ziva" showrunner John McNamara at Comic-Con 2025 to preview the new, action-packed "NCIS" spinoff. NCIS may be on its sixth spinoff, but all roads still lead back to Mark Harmon's Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, and John McNamara, the stars and creator/showrunner of NCIS: Tony & Ziva, were joined by their old NCIS colleague Brian Dietzen at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 on Thursday to preview the new spinoff series. Shortly after screening the first ten minutes of September's pilot episode, Weatherly and de Pablo offered each other a surreptitious, private hand signal that cracked a smile on both of their faces — arms raised, fists balled and swiveling on their hinges as if knocking on a door with quizzical "I got this" expressions on their faces. "What was that?" Dietzen asked. In a perfect showcase of their 20-years-and-counting chemistry, the pair responded in unison, "Mark Harmon." "This is his sign language thing from an episode," Weatherly said, harkening back to the 13 seasons he spent costarring alongside Harmon on NCIS. De Pablo called it "such a great moment," warm memories rising back into her eyes. McNamara added, "I remember seeing the dailies when you guys did that, and I was cracking up for days." But McNamara, who's only joining the NCIS-verse with Tony & Ziva, was in the dark as much as the rest of the Comic-Con audience at the Indigo Ballroom. Thankfully, de Pablo jumped in with the backstory. "It was a tribute to Gibbs. I think we were in a school, right?" she asked Weatherly, who nodded and added they were also "on a bus." De Pablo continued: "There was a camera, and he was sort of communicating with us. He felt no one was watching him. So since that moment, every time Michael and I — we could be anywhere in the world — and I'll just go," she said, performing the hand gesture, "and we know." Paramount+ announced NCIS: Tony & Ziva in February, a decade after Weatherly's last episode as an NCIS series regular and 12 years after de Pablo's. Both actors worked closely with Harmon, around whom the NCIS-verse still turns. The franchise announced its fifth spinoff, NCIS: Origins, in early 2024. The series delves into the background of Harmon's legendary investigative commander Leroy Jethro Gibbs, and Harmon even made a cameo appearance in the pilot Weatherly, de Pablo, and McNamara hinted that fans could definitely look forward to some NCIS name-drops on Tony & Ziva — and even look forward to potential future crossover appearances — Harmon doesn't appear slated for a Tony & Ziva season 1 cameo. But Weatherly joked that the Comic-Con audience would now at least take a little piece of Leroy Jethro Gibbs lore with them into the world. "Now that we've told everyone in this room, [de Pablo] and I are going to be in a public bathroom somewhere in Detroit, and someone's gonna be like," he joked, making the secret signal. The first three episodes of NCIS: Tony & Ziva premiere Sept. 4 on Paramount+, with new episodes to follow weekly until the Oct. 23 season finale. Check out more of .

'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' star Michael Weatherly had to relive 'angry moment' in flashback episode: 'That was scary'''
Weatherly and Cote de Pablo joined EW at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, where their characters' big reunion in the "NCIS" spinoff. Michael Weatherly is traveling back to the past for the upcoming NCIS spinoff series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva. But not every memory is a happy one. Weatherly and his trusty television partner in crime (and, sometimes, love), Cote de Pablo, stopped by the EW Studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 to discuss the series, which premieres on Paramount+ in September. De Pablo, who starred on NCIS as Ziva David from season 3-11 (with a handful of subsequent appearances in seasons 11, 16, and 17), recalled a powerful moment she witnessed Weatherly have while filming the final episode of Tony & Ziva. "It was this flashback where we had to sort of relive this very kind of angry moment, and there was a take that Michael had where he really kind of connected with something," she recalls. "I went up to him afterwards and I said, 'Oh my God, Michael, that was scary!' And he said, 'I don't like going to that place,'" de Pablo says. "It was really funny because now I'm talking to my friend... he was like, 'God it takes so much out of me, I'm sort of older and wiser and I just don't like going to that place,' and I was like, 'Oh boy, I can relate.'" Weatherly appeared on NCIS for a longer stint than de Pablo, from seasons 1-15 (2003-2015). His Tony DiNozzo fell in and out of an always ambiguous, but highly charged relationship with Ziva until her character was seemingly killed off screen. The character survived, however, and returned in subsequent seasons to reveal she'd had their baby, Tali (Isla Gie on Tony & Ziva). While there were plenty of tender, touching, powerful, and romantic scenes between the characters, they had their fair share of breakups and crash-outs too. Weatherly explains that while the moment he revisited was indeed "angry," he's better at controlling his emotions these days. "In life, as we all understand through our therapy, you can choose your state. Your emotional state can be a choice," he shares. "When you're young you kind of think, 'I'm having this emotion, and it must determine everything I do.' And its like, 'Slow your horses.'" Weatherly says he's learned over the course of his three and a half decades in show business that, "You can actually make choices about the kind of life you want to live. When you're acting, a big part of that happens, and that's the great thing about 20 years later, because we are acting together, but it's a deeper, richer, more nuanced bond." "Exactly, and it's a real testament to our friendship," de Pablo agrees. Paramount+ announced Tony & Ziva in February, nine years after Weatherly's departure, over a decade since de Pablo's, and five since the actors' last shared episode of NCIS, the season 17 episode "In the Wind." May's first trailer for NCIS: Tony & Ziva picks up on the characters in Paris, where they're co-parenting Tali in a state of enduringly ambiguous almost-romance. Then, Tony's security company is hacked, leading to a thrilling espionage caper in which the couple must enlist the help of new friends to clear their names and secure their happy ending once more. John McNamara, the showrunner behind Syfy's The Magicians, will helm NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Joining de Pablo and Weatherly in the cast are Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Julian Ovenden, Nassima Benchicou, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Terence Maynard, and James D'Arcy. The first three episodes of NCIS: Tony & Ziva premiere Sept. 4 on Paramount+, with new episodes to follow weekly.
