NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ Reveals Supporting Cast as Filming Gets Underway in Hungary

Now that production is underway on the 10-episode “NCIS” spinoff “NCIS: Tony & Ziva,” Paramount+ has announced the supporting cast of series regulars who will join stars Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly as they revive their “NCIS” characters.

Cameras have started rolling in Budapest, Hungary, where de Pablo and Weatherly are reprising their roles of Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo. Joining them is Isla Gie (“Foundation”), who will play their 12-year-old daughter Tali (“who is sick of being treated like a child. She’s more intuitive and vigilant than the adults around her give her credit for and she’s ready to prove this to them”).

Also joining the cast is Amita Suman (“Shadow and Bone”), Maximilian Osinski (“Ted Lasso”), Nassima Benchicou (“Emily in Paris”), Julian Ovenden (“Bridgerton”), Terence Maynard (“Coronation Street”), Lara Rossi (“The Watch”) and James D’Arcy (“Agent Carter”).

Suman plays Claudette, “the chief technical officer at Tony’s private security company and the only reason the place runs as smoothly as it does. There’s no problem Claudette can’t solve or code she can’t crack.” Osinski is Boris, “a Russian ex-pat and a brilliant computer hacker, one of the best and most elusive in the world. Boris lives outside the law and polite society and enjoys the anonymity and freedom that affords.” Benchichou is Martine, “a former French intelligence agent with the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE). She is elegant and cunning, playing both sides of any conflict masterfully to protect her own self-interest.”

Also, Ovenden is Jonah, “a former computer programmer for the NSA and now the Secretary General of Interpol. Charming, decisive and confident, Jonah sees the ways in which the world is broken and knows he can fix it.” Maynard plays Dr. Lang, “a deeply experienced therapist, gentle and probing, Dr. Lang treats patients with severe traumas and helps them find comfort and agency.” Rossi appears as Sophie, “a highly skilled professional with a background in the Special Air Service (SAS), Sophie brings a unique blend of maternal warmth and hyper-vigilance to her role as a caretaker for Tali.”

And then there’s D’Arcy as Henry, “a high-ranking official at Interpol, Henry has spent his career in law enforcement chasing international criminals. Career-focused with no wife or family of his own, Henry has always been happily married to his job.”

The new “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” reunites de Pablo — who left the original show after Season 11 (2013-2014) — and Weatherly — who left it after Season 13 (2015-2016).

In “NCIS,” Ziva was thought to have died, and Tony left the team to go raise Tali. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, and Tony and Ziva are now bringing up their daughter, Tali, in Paris. When Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe and try to figure out who is after them.

“NCIS: Tony & Ziva” comes from CBS Studios and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Executive producers include showrunner John McNamara (“Trumbo,” “The Magicians”), as well as Weatherly, de Pablo, Laurie Lieser, Christina Strain, Shelley Meals and Mairzee Almas.
