Cote de Pablo's return as Ziva David in NCIS season 21 appears to be confirmed by Michael Weatherly. The speculation arose following Tony DiNozzo's NCIS comeback for Ducky's tribute, prompting questions about Ziva's whereabouts. It has been previously established that Tony and Ziva are now residing in Paris, raising their daughter Tali. A spinoff featuring the duo, tentatively titled NCIS: Europe, has been announced. However, before that, de Pablo may reprise her role in the main NCIS series.
During an Instagram live session, Weatherly hinted at a potential reunion between de Pablo and Brian Dietzen, who portrays Jimmy Palmer in NCIS. While Weatherly did not explicitly mention NCIS season 21, the context suggests a collaboration involving Palmer, hinting at Ziva's return.
