Cynthia Littleton Business Editor CANNES — “NCIS” fans attending Mipcom got a treat Tuesday as stars of the upcoming spinoff “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” joined Dan Cohen, head of Paramount Global distribution and Republic Pictures, to show off the character reunion that has been 12 years in the making. “What a luxury it is to revisit a character after such a long time,” Cote de Pablo told the crowd at the Palais as she and Michael Weatherly took the stage at the Palais.
De Pablo and Weatherly worked together on “NCIS” for 10 years, playing longtime co-workers who always seemed to have a romantic spark between them.
The pair haven’t been seen together on screen in the “NCIS” universe since 2013, when de Pablo exited as a series regular. “I thnk the fans have always wanted to see what happened between them,” de Pablo said. “Tony & Ziva” is set to premiere next year on Paramount+.
