The oldest active cast member of the NCIS franchise comments on potentially appearing in the recently announced Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David spinoff. On the heels of Michael Weatherly’s NCIS season 21 return for Ducky’s tribute episode, Paramount+ rocked the franchise when it announced that the actor is re-teaming with Cote de Pablo for a new offshoot. Currently nicknamed NCIS: Europe, the upcoming series will see the couple being on the run across Europe with their daughter Tali.
Specific plot details about Tony and Ziva’s NCIS spinoff are currently being kept under wraps, but there are already questions about the possibility of their former teammates making a cameo. Speaking with TVInsider, Sean Murray reveals that there’s always a chance that Timothy McGee can be involved with DiNozzo and David’s latest adventures. Read his full quote below:
To see Tony, McGee, and Ziva together again would be great. Yeah, it’s very possible, I’ll say that. Especially inside of our franchise, as I’m sure you could guess. And yeah, we like to have fun with some of that stuff, and it’s all in the family, so we’ll see what happens.

How McGee Can Reunite With Tony And Ziva In The NCIS Franchise
Tony, Ziva, and McGee are part of the best NCIS team iteration in its more than 20 years on the screen. Mark Harmon’s Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Pauley Perrette’s Abby Sciuto, David McCallum’s Ducky Mallard, Brian Dietzen’s Jimmy Palmer, and Rocky Carroll’s Leon Vance round up the roster. Considering this, there’s always interest in seeing any kind of reunion involving these actors. Luckily, the franchise has set a precedent when it comes to it as Murray points out NCIS’ penchant for crossovers and cameos. Weatherly’s latest visit to the DC office is glaring proof of that.
There are several ways to reunite McGee with Tony and Ziva. Firstly, it could be through Weatherly and de Pablo’s return to the mothership series. NCIS is known for its backdoor pilots, and their potential appearance can be the launching pad for their new show. It would also help raise awareness for the project. Unlike other expansion series that are airing on network TV, Tony and Ziva’s adventures will be streaming on Paramount+. Secondly, the offshoot can simply bring in Murray for a cameo in NCIS: Europe. Considering his tech skills, the couple can use his help throughout their ordeal.

Any kind of reunion would be great, especially since it has been a decade since Murray, Weatherly, and de Pablo all shared the screen. That being said, it would be so much better if NCIS could bring more of their former teammates. Harmon is particularly a fan-favorite choice for this, considering that Gibbs played McGee, Tony, and Ziva’s father figure and team leader during their time with the agency.

NCIS
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. Special Agent Alden Parker, a quirky former FBI agent who solves his cases with calm professionalism and sharp, sarcastic charm, leads the NCIS team, which includes NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate with a knack for computers who has now graduated to senior field agent; the charismatic, unpredictable and resilient NCIS Special Agent Nicholas “Nick” Torres, who has spent most of his career on solo undercover assignments; and sharp, athletic and tough NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight, a formidable REACT agent who specializes in hostage negotiations and high-risk operations. The naïve Jimmy Palmer is assisting the team, who graduated from assistant to fully licensed medical examiner and now runs the morgue; and forensic scientist Kasie Hines, Ducky’s former graduate assistant. Overseeing operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.
