NCIS viewers will see a familiar face return for season 24. CBS has announced that Michael Weatherly is returning to the series for the full 2026-27 season.
It isn’t clear if viewers will also see the return of Cote de Pablo. The pair recently appeared in NCIS: Tony & Ziva on Paramount+, which was canceled after just one season.
CBS revealed the following about Weatherly’s return to NCIS:
“Michael Weatherly will reprise his role of fan-favorite character Tony DiNozzo in a season-long arc reuniting him with the NCIS team for the 2026-2027 season.
He was previously a main cast member on NCIS for 13 seasons, appearing in over 300 episodes, and recently reprised the character in the Paramount+ universe expansion series NCIS: TONY & ZIVA.
NCIS recently celebrated its 500th episode and is currently the longest-running primetime drama on CBS and the #1 TV franchise globally.”
Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, Katrina Law and Gary Cole star in the series. The premiere date for season 24 will be announced later. A video announcing Weatherly’s return is below.
