As NCIS: Tony & Ziva prepares to launch in 2025, fans are already speculating about which familiar faces from the NCIS universe might make appearances. While Tony and Ziva’s reunion will be the main event, there are several characters that fans would love to see join the new chapter, whether for a brief cameo or a more substantial role. Here are three characters we’d love to see in the upcoming spinoff:

1. Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette)
Abby’s quirky charm and unmatched forensic skills made her a fan-favorite for years. With her unique bond with both Tony and Ziva, having Abby return would bring a sense of continuity and warmth to the show. Whether it’s helping Tony and Ziva solve a case or providing comic relief, Abby’s presence would undoubtedly add depth and nostalgia to the series.

2. Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon)
Though Gibbs’ time as a series regular has come to an end on NCIS, his character’s connection to Tony and Ziva has always been a major part of their shared history. A cameo from Gibbs could offer closure, or at least a heartfelt moment with his former team. It would be an emotional reunion for fans who’ve watched Gibbs mentor Tony and Ziva over the years.

3. Timothy McGee (Sean Murray)
McGee’s departure from NCIS was a big moment in the franchise, but his bond with Tony and Ziva was central to the series. Seeing McGee reunite with his former colleagues would be a great way to tie up loose ends and show that the team dynamic lives on. Whether helping out on a case or simply catching up with old friends, McGee’s return would be a delightful nod to longtime fans.

While Tony and Ziva’s story will be the heart of the show, bringing back these familiar faces would help ground the spinoff in NCIS’ rich history. The crossovers could offer emotional moments, callbacks to classic episodes, and new adventures for these beloved characters.
