Michael Weatherly Just Took An Under-The-Radar Shot At A Rival Streaming Service Ahead Of Tony & Ziva Premiere

by

Fans of NCIS are eagerly anticipating the premiere of the new spin-off series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva. This upcoming addition to the expanding NCIS franchise will revolve around the beloved characters portrayed by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo. However, when it airs later this year, it won’t be on CBS. Michael Weatherly is subtly letting viewers know that the series won’t be available on a particular streaming service.

Michael Weatherly recently joked on his post that he was making fun of his character Tony DiNozzo, and taking a playful dig at a competing streaming service. To catch up with the new series NCIS: Tony & Ziva, you’ll need a Paramount+ subscription, so forget about Peacock for now.

It’s possible that many people who are excited about the upcoming NCIS spinoff might not be aware that their Peacock subscription won’t give them access to it, given the rapid pace of change in the streaming world. As such, a gentle reminder may not be unwelcome. Notably, this new series will mark the first time an NCIS show isn’t broadcast on CBS and instead, will only be available on Paramount+. Therefore, any fans who have been watching the shows solely through network TV will need to invest in a subscription if they wish to catch the new show.

In response to Weatherly’s post, some fans claim that his character on NCIS is reminiscent of a Peacock, given his frequent displays of pompousness during his early appearances. However, it was often Gibbs who would bring him back in line with occasional reprimands, symbolized by the playful smacks to the back of the head.

In the upcoming series “NCIS: Tony & Ziva,” DiNozzo won’t have Gibbs around to discipline him as he once did, leading one to ponder what kind of character DiNozzo will be without his former mentor. We briefly saw Michael Weatherly reprise his role on NCIS in an episode honoring the late David McCallum, but we didn’t get a chance to see Dr. Mallard in action then.

In the new season of NCIS: Tony and Ziva, we find our protagonists settled in Paris, enjoying a new chapter in their lives with no one on the run or in danger. However, trouble arises when the security company founded by Tony is targeted. Now, as parents to a 12-year-old daughter, they join forces once again to combat the threats. The series has been primarily filmed in Budapest, offering an adaptable backdrop that can easily represent various locations worldwide.

The specific date for the premiere of the upcoming show on Paramount+ remains undisclosed, yet there’s no doubt about its anticipated popularity. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Weatherly’s return to the realm of NCIS ever since his previous series was terminated. Given the enduring popularity of these characters and the ongoing success of NCIS and its spin-offs, it’s nearly assured that the show will be a success.
