Michael Weatherly, who starred as Tony in “NCIS”, has shared some unique merchandise in a recent filming update for the upcoming spinoff series, “NCIS: Tony & Ziva”. This new show follows Tonny DiNozzo (played by Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) after they left the original series. In the spinoff, they find themselves on the run with their daughter, Tali (Isla Gie), after Tony’s security company in Paris comes under attack from new enemies. Filming for the series began in Budapest in mid-2024, and it’s expected to be released on Paramount+ at some point in the future.
Weatherly recently made an Instagram post showcasing “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” shoes, which are a special set of merchandise created to celebrate the upcoming spinoff. The actor thanked Superstar Budapest and FinestArtShoes for their roles in making these “special pair of kicks” a reality. The shoes seem to be dark blue in color, with the lettering “NCIS” on one side of the back and “Tony & Ziva” on the other.
What these new shoes indicate about the “NCIS” spinoff is that there’s a lot of excitement surrounding the return of this pair. The 10-episode series is anticipated to center on a single case involving the titular couple, which is quite different from the usual multiple cases handled in the original show. It’s also the second spinoff that focuses on established characters from the original series, with “NCIS: Origins” featuring younger versions of familiar agents, like Gibbs (Austin Stowell) in a leading role and Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) leading the team. While it’s not known if there will be any surprise cameos to assist the couple in “Tony & Ziva”, it does set a new trend for spinoffs within the “NCIS” universe.
The shoes that Weatherly showed off also heighten anticipation for the show and confirm that Budapest will be a key location throughout the spinoff. Although they don’t reveal specific details about the series, they do highlight the enthusiasm of the cast and crew, boosted by the creation of this unique merchandise. This also demonstrates the overall strength of the “NCIS” franchise, not only because “NCIS” season 22 is currently airing, but also due to the many different stories the franchise can tell in diverse ways.
Tony & Ziva’s promotional shoes could be the next big hit for the franchise. The promotional shoes are a fun way to celebrate the upcoming show and also show just how much confidence Paramount has in it becoming successful. Even though the series hasn’t premiered yet, the efforts put into “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” suggest it could become a mainstay on Paramount+. As more information becomes available before its release, the show could continue to build excitement with additional unique promotions like these shoes.
