Requiring them to jet to Cannes, the duo's last high-profile appearance came in June, when they reunited with Brian Dietzen and Wilmer Valderrama at the 63rd Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

The synopsis explains: "Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris.
"Since then – and where we find them in the new Paramount+ original series – Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together.
"When Tony's security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try to figure out who is after them and maybe even learn to trust each other again so that they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after."
With fans eagerly awaiting the spin-off, Michael, 56, has been sharing updates. Just last week, the TV star posed for a photo alongside showrunner, John McNamara. The caption teased: "From the set of #ncis:tony&ziva, it's all about the camels. Magician and writer extraordinaire @johnthemcnamara crafts our new story and wonders await…"
On August 26, Michael also revealed that Tony has a black tie event on the cards, after sharing a selfie of his James Bond-esque tuxedo. "Taking a breather in the heat during our exciting #ncis tony&ziva extravaganza!" he quipped alongside it.
While Cote, 44, does not use social media, she has spoken about NCIS: Tony & Ziva in promotional videos. "I expect intrigue, romance, the background of Europe, impossible situations that will make our lives very complicated, but somehow a little something about love," she said.
Details surrounding the spin-off are gradually being drip-fed, and in September fans were introduced to several new cast members.
Downton Abbey star Julian Ovenden and Oppenheimer's James D'Arcy have signed on. Julian will play Jonah, the Secretary General of Interpol, while James is billed as Henry, a high-ranking official at Interpol.

Rounding out the cast, Nassima Benchicou is inhibiting the role of "elegant and cunning" Martine, a former French intelligence agent with the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE). Meanwhile, Terence Maynard (Coronation Street) portrays "deeply experienced therapist" Dr. Lang, who treats patients with severe traumas.
