30 Sep
Summary
- Michael Weatherly returns to NCIS for season-long arc.
- He will appear starting in the 2026 TV schedule.
- Fans anticipate Tony DiNozzo's return to the Mothership.
Michael Weatherly is set to make a highly anticipated return to NCIS, reprising his beloved character Tony DiNozzo. Viewers can expect to see him in a season-long arc during the upcoming 24th season, with his appearances commencing within the 2026 TV schedule. This marks a significant comeback for one of the show's original cast members, who played a pivotal role for the first 13 seasons.
Weatherly's return to the 'Mothership' comes after filming NCIS: Tony & Ziva in Europe. He noted a slight adjustment period, feeling a blend of familiarity and unfamiliarity with the current cast. Despite this, Weatherly has expressed a strong desire for a crossover with the franchise's newer leads, particularly NCIS: New York. The article highlights that such a crossover is plausible, given Brian Dietzen's upcoming appearance on the New York spinoff.
The Season 24 premiere of NCIS is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with subsequent streaming available on Paramount+. Fans are eagerly awaiting DiNozzo's return to NCIS headquarters after a considerable absence.
