With the upcoming spin-off NCIS: Tony &#038; Ziva officially in production, the beloved powerhouse couple is finally returning to our screens. But now, Michael Weatherly has sparked a massive wave of excitement by hinting that Special Agent Tony DiNozzo might also pop up in the original flagship NCIS series!<br \/>\n\u200bFans will remember that Weatherly made a surprise cameo in Season 21 during the emotional tribute episode for the late David McCallum (Ducky). That brief appearance reminded everyone how much they missed Tony&#8217;s humor and charm.<br \/>\n\u200b&#8221;Never Say Never&#8221;<br \/>\n\u200bIn a recent interaction with fans on social media, Michael Weatherly was asked if his return to Europe for the spin-off completely rules out a comeback to the main show in Washington, D.C.<br \/>\n\u200bHis answer left the door wide open. &#8220;I&#8217;ve always said that Tony&#8217;s story isn&#8217;t fully told,&#8221; Weatherly teased. &#8220;The original NCIS is home. While my main focus right now is the new series with Cote, the NCIS universe is deeply connected. I think there are still plenty of surprises left for the fans, so never say never.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u200bWhat This Means for Season 23<br \/>\n\u200bShowrunners have previously stated that they love doing crossovers, and having Weatherly bridge the gap between the main show and the new spin-off would be a ratings goldmine. Whether it&#8217;s a quick phone call to Director Vance or a surprise appearance in the bullpen, fans are desperate to see Tony interact with the current team again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCIS fans have a lot to celebrate lately.
