4 Things NCIS: Tony & Ziva Fans Expect to See in the New Show

NCIS: Tony & Ziva is getting closer, even though we still don't know the exact release date of the spin-off. To make the wait a little less painful, we've chosen the top requests from fans who have been waiting for years to see a full-fledged reunion of these characters.

1. Reunion in Paris

Although Tony and Ziva haven't appeared together on the small screen in years, their relationship, and the characters themselves, have become so beloved by fans that they've never been forgotten. Tony and Ziva had a reunion on the original NCIS, but it wasn't shown to the viewers, and that's, well, a literal crime in writing.

In Season 17, Ziva literally comes back from the dead and tells Gibbs that Tony and her daughter Tali are waiting for her in Paris, but it happened off-screen. So fans are hoping we'll get a flashback to that touching event.

2. Tony & Ziva Happy Family Life

Unfortunately, most of the dynamics of Tony and Ziva's family relationship and their interactions with their daughter Tali have been left behind the screen, and viewers are counting on catching up on all the missed episodes of happy family life.

Many fans are interested not so much in the action and the chases across Europe, but simply in the quiet and peaceful life of these two – especially since they deserve it more than anyone else. Viewers hope that the writers will give Tony, Ziva and Tali at least one episode of idyllic family life.

3. Tony & Ziva Relationship Dynamic

Although Tony and Ziva eventually decided to become a full-fledged family, it could not help but raise questions among fans. They had been through so much together that it seemed their relationship was beyond repair. For example, Ziva hiding Tali from Tony and then faking her own death does not seem like the healthiest relationship, does it?

The new series is a great opportunity for the writers to show viewers the reasons that led Tony and Ziva to family life, and make their reunion not just fan service, but a logical and balanced decision by two adults.

4. Happy Ending

Let's face it, we're tired of tragic and heartbreaking stories. As much as NCIS fans love drama, maybe it is time for the characters to get what they deserve and live happily ever after.

Viewers hope that the plot will be filled with adrenaline-fueled races and shoot-outs that bring Tony and Ziva even closer together, but they also hope that in the end they will simply come to a measured life where no one is on the brink of death.
