Fans of NCIS have long hoped for the return of Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, but opinions are divided on whether their comeback would be a good idea. While some fans believe they should return for a special occasion, like the show's final episode, others feel that bringing them back as cast members would be a step backwards. The actors, Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, have hinted at their possible return, but there has been no official confirmation. Additionally, due to ongoing writers' strikes, the show may not return until early 2024 or later.
