NCIS fans have a lot to celebrate lately. With the upcoming spin-off NCIS: Tony & 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!
\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’s humor and charm.
\n\u200b”Never Say Never”
\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.
\n\u200bHis answer left the door wide open. “I’ve always said that Tony’s story isn’t fully told,” Weatherly teased. “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.”
\n\u200bWhat This Means for Season 23
\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’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":"
