From then to Season 11, she was on the show for nine seasons. An irreplaceable fan-favorite, Weatherly brought DiNozzo back to make guest appearances on the spin-off series, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans, and, most notably, reprised the role as a lead for the first time in NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which reunited him with Cote de Pablo for a full season on Paramount+ in 2025. Sean Murray had a recurring role in NCIS season one as Timothy McGee, appearing for eight episodes before joining the main cast the following season.
