Even Michael Weatherly Thinks The Title Of The NCIS: Tony And Ziva Spinoff Isn’t Quite Right
As the 2024 TV schedule has progressed, we’ve learned a bit more about what’s coming next, and fans have had a couple of months to get used to the idea that the Tony and Ziva NCIS spinoff will, in fact, be called NCIS: Tony & Ziva. At the time series lead Michael Weatherly made the announcement, some fans liked the title, but others felt like it could use some work. As it turns out, Weatherly himself seems to be in that latter camp.
Truly, the most popular comment on a Reddit thread about the naming of the show is literally and f-bomb and then this statement: “I hope the writers are better at storytelling than they are at naming.” Others recommended renaming the series after a location, like the other iterations, with Europe being a frequently bandied about option. (This would make sense given the show is filming in Budapest.) Finally, some wanted more of a cool bent to the subtitle, suggesting less obvious titles like NCIS: Trust No One and NCIS: D&D (Dinozzo and David).
