According toTVLine,NCIS: Tony & Zivawill begin on Paramount+ in Fall 2025. While an exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, this would mean new episodes of the streaming original will be airing around the same timeframe thatNCISandNCIS: Originswould typically return to CBS.

What Tony & Ziva’s Release Window Means For The Show
NCIS Will Have 3 Shows Airing At The Same Time
The web of getting to Tony and Ziva’s return to the small screen has been quite a complex one, with Ziva originally departing inNCISseason 11. Tony left at the end of season 13 to raise Tali after believing her mother to be dead, only for her to make a surprise comeback in season 16. De Pablo’s character made her last appearance on the main show as a special guest star in season 17, while Weatherly returned to thecast ofNCISin season 21 for his own guest spot.
Unlike the procedural nature of other shows in the franchise,NCIS: Tony & Zivawill feature a serialized story,as every week builds on the threat to their lives. The Fall 2025 release window aligns with the expected windows for whenNCISseason 23andNCIS: Originsseason 2are going to start. This means three shows in the franchise will be airing at the same time, something that hasn’t happened sinceNCIS,NCIS: Los Angeles, andNCIS: Hawi’iwere airing at the same time in 2022-2023.
Our Take On NCIS: Tony & Ziva’s Release Window
The Perfect Time For A New Series To Launch
With the Fall usually being when new seasons ofNCISbegin on CBS, it’s also the perfect time forNCIS: Tony & Zivato start on Paramount+. This way, the show is airing in tandem with the other two yearly series in the franchise, both of which are directly connected to their characters. While it may feel slightly overwhelming to have three shows running on the same weeks in two different places, it also keeps there from being a lengthy wait for the much-loved couple to return.
