What Happened
Michael Weatherly is set to return to the cast of NCIS for its upcoming Season 24. This marks his return to the flagship series after his character, Tony DiNozzo, was featured in the "Tony & Ziva" spinoff, which has reportedly been canceled. Weatherly's return is a significant development for the long-running procedural drama.
In parallel, Mark Harmon, who previously portrayed Leroy Jethro Gibbs, is also making a substantial comeback to the NCIS universe. Harmon will be returning for all episodes of "NCIS: Origins" Season 3 in a full-time acting capacity. "NCIS: Origins" is a prequel series focusing on a younger version of Gibbs.
These announcements come as both actors, who have played pivotal roles in the NCIS franchise, are re-engaging with the series in different capacities. Weatherly's return to the main NCIS series and Harmon's full-time role in the prequel signify continued investment in the NCIS brand.
