“Tony left the NCIS team to raise your daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, prompting her to complete one final mission with NCIS before reuniting with Tony and his daughter in Paris,” the synopsis continues.

“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 flee across Europe, try to find out who is after them, and maybe even learn to trust each other again so they can finally have their unconventional happily ever after.”

Both actors will serve as executive producers on the untitled project, alongside John McNamara.
