Former NCIS star Sean Murray reunited with Tony & Ziva spinoff lead Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo for the first time in a decade. The trio, known for their portrayals of Tim McGee, Tony DiNozzo, and Ziva David, respectively, brought to life what many consider the quintessential team under the leadership of Leroy Jethro Gibbs on the hit crime series.
This reunion took place during an episode of the Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch podcast, a platform that allows past cast members to look into their experiences on the show. It’s noteworthy that this marks the first time since their departure that all three actors have been in the same room, a moment that de Pablo pointed out, saying:
By the way, we haven’t been in the same room together in 10 years. 10 years. The three of us together, sitting down and actually talking. 10 years.
During the podcast, the actors shared laughs and memories, reflecting on the strong bonds formed during their intensive years of filming. Murray expressed a warm sentiment that resonated with many listeners, noting how seeing his former co-stars brought back a flood of positive emotions. He said:
I didn’t like do the math or anything, but I know when I see you guys that I feel really good.
The significance of their gathering extends beyond a casual stroll through the past, as these actors were part of the team that followed the dramatic exit of Kate Todd in the show’s second season finale. While Tony DiNozzo was a member of NCIS’s original Major Case Response Team, it was the addition of McGee and David that solidified the team’s dynamics, endearing them to a dedicated fanbase.
Can Tim McGee Reunite with Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David in NCIS?
With this reunion, fans may ask will Tim McGee, Tony, and Ziva ever reunite on screen? The trio that brought delight to viewers of the NCIS series has not shared the screen since Ziva’s departure from the show. The recent guesting of Sean Murray in Weatherly and de Pablo’s Off Duty: An NCIS Rewatch podcast may have stirred fans’ curiosity.
Both Tony and Ziva have made individual returns to the NCIS universe. Ziva’s dramatic comeback, following her presumed death, was a storyline that re-engaged fans and brought intrigue to the series. Meanwhile, Tony’s appearance in a tribute episode for Ducky in season 21 served as a nod to the series’ long history. Despite these individual appearances, the trio has yet to come together, raising anticipation about the potential for a full-fledged reunion.
Looking ahead, there are several promising avenues for bringing these beloved characters back together. With NCIS season 22 on the horizon, there’s potential to reintegrate Ziva and Tony into the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) narrative. This scenario could serve as an ideal backdrop for their much-awaited reunion with McGee, weaving their storylines back into the main series.
Alternatively, the upcoming spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which follows the duo’s exploits across Europe, offers another exciting opportunity. Incorporating McGee into this narrative, even in a guest-starring capacity, could provide a satisfying link back to the original series and offer fans the reunion they have been clamoring for.
