After NCIS: Tony & Ziva Was Canceled Following One Season, Fans Were In Their Feelings: ‘There Was So Much More We Needed’

The NCIS franchise remains popular on CBS as of the 2025 TV season, but its presence on Paramount+ has suffered a setback. The streaming service announced the cancellation of NCIS: Tony & Ziva this week. The show followed beloved characters Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, whose return fans had long requested. Understandably, many disappointed viewers are expressing their feelings and lamenting the lost potential of the series.

The show “Tiva” brought back Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo as their characters Tony and Ziva, pairing them on screen again after ten years – but only for Paramount+ subscribers. The story followed Tony and Ziva as they fled across Europe after an attack on Tony’s company. Beyond the action, the series showed fans what their lives were like after they got back together, following Ziva’s short return on NCIS and their current relationship. One X user, Tivashome94, expressed a desire to see all of this, and I completely agree!

The announcement of a new show bringing Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo back together felt like a dream come true for fans. For years, Weatherly had hinted at the possibility of Tony and Ziva reuniting, but it was never certain. The series finally showed the couple in a new chapter of their lives, raising their pre-teen daughter, Tali, and facing challenges both at home and in their careers.

At the season’s end, Tony and Ziva decided to try making their relationship work again. Naturally, fans are disappointed they won’t get to see what happens next and are sad to say goodbye, yet again.

  • Well this sucks. Tony & Ziva was the show that got me to subscribe to Paramount+. It was smart, cleverly structured, had brilliant leads and a ton of heart. #NCIS #TonyandZiva #NCISTonyAndZiva – @mattsmoviesand1
  • [Paramount+] please please reconsider cancelling ncis: tony & ziva. you have millions of fans who would give anything for another season, and a cast & crew that deserve another chance. #savetonyandziva – @madsxtiva
  • Like all of you I’m disappointed 😞 at the news there won’t be another season of #NCISTonyandZiva ✨ but I’m just incredibly grateful that we got to see the continuation of their lives and their daughter after all these years .20 years of #TonyandZiva 💚 and a love affair forever – @donutsdebsdibs
    if cbs can un-cancel swat like five times in a row, then Paramount+ can un-cancel ncis: tony and ziva – @tivaforgood
  • I think what makes this much harder is theres no logical reason so we can’t understand, to then accept it. High fan interaction constantly trending on twitter, good viewership, high rotten tomatoes score & Michael Cote and the cast wanting S2 😤💁‍♀️ #TonyAndZiva #SaveTonyAndZiva – @chanelMGale

The cancellation of “Tony & Ziva” was a shock to fans. The show’s trailer actually set a viewing record for Paramount+, and the “NCIS” series is still very popular. It seemed like a good idea to bring back characters fans have wanted to see together for years. It’s uncertain if the show will be picked up by another network, like CBS, but fans are clearly upset and are making their feelings known online.

Even if we don’t get a new series focused on Tony and Ziva, there’s still a chance Michael Weatherly and Paula de Pablo could return as their characters on the original NCIS show or NCIS: Sydney. They even recently met with the cast of NCIS: Sydney, suggesting continued possibilities. It’s obvious fans enjoyed seeing Tony and Ziva reunited, and many feel the recent ten-episode arc wasn’t long enough.

It’s unclear whether the strong fan reaction will lead Paramount+ to change its mind or CBS to revive the show. For now, fans are left to wonder what might have happened with Tony and Ziva’s story.
