The NCIS franchise expands with NCIS: Tony & Ziva, welcoming back two fan-favorite characters for new adventures in Europe. Season one, starring Michael Weatherly as Tony Dinozzo and Cote de Pablo as Ziva David, premieres on Paramount+ on September 4, 2025 with the release of the first three episodes. New episodes will stream on Thursdays.

Paramount+ offered this description of the latest addition to the NCIS franchise: “NCIS: Tony & Ziva picks up after Ziva’s supposed death when Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris. Since then — and where we find them in NCIS: Tony & Ziva — Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together. When Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe, try...

Tony and Ziva are back — and so is the tension, the banter, and the chaos.

Paramount+ dropped the official trailer for NCIS: Tony & Ziva at San Diego Comic-Con, giving longtime fans a first look at the highly anticipated spinoff that brings the fan-favorite duo back into action.

And if the trailer is anything to go by, this isn’t just a nostalgic reunion — it’s a wild ride through Europe with assassins, disguises, killer cars, and more than a few unresolved feelings.

Set years after Ziva’s “death” and eventual return, the series picks up with the couple raising their daughter, Tali, in Paris — though not quite as a couple.

When Tony’s security firm is attacked, the trio is thrust into a cross-continental chase full of espionage, explosions, and a romantic comedy flair that would make any undercover mission blush.

Smoke Season 1 Episode 6 Review: Dave Hunts...

For The Day of the Jackal, cinematographer Christopher Ross says the approach to the job was to capture the “world of lies” that both protagonists live in. Every assassination had moments of misdirection, on both sides, which needed to be captured on camera as small clues for the audience to piece together what is really going on.

The Day of the Jackal follows a professional British assassin called the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), known only for his ruthless and mysterious methods, and Bianca Pullman (Lashana Lynch), an MI6 agent intent on hunting him down. Since the two protagonists are opposing forces, it was important for Ross that both sides were presented to the audience in a way that allowed them to be both rooted for and against.

This is not just another successful NCIS expansion; it’s the moment “Tiva” enthusiasts have been dreaming of. From energetic colleagues to a deeply connected, fan-favorite couple who ultimately had a child, Tali, off-screen, Tony and Ziva...

The NCIS: Tony & Ziva first-look trailer made me laugh like a little kid. As a surprise, Paramount+ announced the spinoff would be coming in August 2025 instead of later in the fall. During the May 8, 2025 Paramount Global Earnings Call, Paramount touched base on their shows, mentioning that Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 premiered earlier that day, NCIS: Tony & Ziva had been moved up to an August release, and four of Taylor Sheridan's shows filled the rest of the year's schedule.

Tony Dinozzo is one of my favorite characters. Although I loved Kate Todd and was devastated by her departure, it allowed CBS to cast a hardcore female agent who would test Tony like Kate did for two seasons. Ziva's addition in season 3 was the perfect move for the franchise. But no one knew they'd become an NCIS on-and-off-again love story to last decades.

Paramount+ just dropped the first thrilling trailer for the brand-new original series, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, and it looks absolutely fantastic! For those who tuned into the season 22 finale of NCIS on CBS, you got a special sneak peek. But for everyone else, the buzz is building rapidly around this exciting new chapter in the beloved franchise. The new 10-episode series dives back into the lives of two of NCIS’s most iconic characters. Remember when Tony bid farewell to the team to care for his and Ziva’s daughter, following the devastating news of Ziva’s presumed passing? Well, as we all know,...

Paramount+ released the first full trailer for the NCIS spinoff, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, starring fan favorites Cote de Pablo as Ziva David and Michael Weatherly as Tony Dinozzo. The new trailer was accompanied by a batch of photos from the first episode, “No Country is Safe.”

The latest addition to the NCIS franchise also stars Amita Suman, Maximilian Osinski, Julian Ovenden, Nassima Benchicou, Lara Rossi, Isla Gie, Terence Maynard, and James D’Arcy.

“NCIS: Tony & Ziva picks up after Ziva’s supposed death when Tony left the NCIS team to go raise their daughter. Years later, Ziva was discovered alive, leading her to complete one final mission with NCIS before she was reunited with Tony and their daughter in Paris,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “Since then—and where we find them in NCIS: Tony & Ziva—Tony and Ziva have been raising their daughter, Tali, together.

NCIS fans rejoice as we finally get our first look at Tony and Ziva back in action in their new Paramount+ spinoff!

NCIS has become a cash cow franchise for CBS. From its start as a spinoff of the legal drama Jag in 2003, the series remains one of the network’s highest-rated shows. Viewers never get enough of this squad of agents handling various military crimes with some action and humor.

The show has spawned five spinoffs, including the NCIS: Origins prequel. Now it’s time for one that fans have been eagerly awaiting a fantastic return of NCIS’ original power couple!

For years, NCIS fans loved the chemistry between Tony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). The pair bantered a lot, clashing and needling each other but clearly a deep attraction between them.

That seemed to end when de Pablo left the series in season 11, and...

Tony and Ziva is the NCIS series that has fans most intrigued. NCIS: Sydney has done an excellent job of introducing new characters, and NCIS: Origins has managed to reignite fan interest in the past of a beloved veteran, but Tony and Ziva is a direct sequel to the flagship series.

It's an interesting proposition, especially since we haven't gotten to see Tony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly) or Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) in action for over a decade. We're eager to catch up with them, and while NBC has been hesitant to issue a proper release date, we now have a window in which we can expect to see the spinoff.

NCIS lost a big part of what made it so great when Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva’s (Cote de Pablo) departed, several years apart.

Tiva was the lifeblood of the CBS hit for so many years, but I couldn’t help but feel unsettled by how they were hastily brought back together off-screen.

Ziva and Tony finally got their happily-ever-after in NCIS Season 17, which brought Ziva’s comeback to a rushed conclusion.

(Marcell Piti/Paramount+)

Tony had actually walked away from the team almost four years earlier, so now that we know NCIS: Tony & Ziva is in the final stages of production, it feels like we’re in an alternate universe.

Many NCIS fans have dreamed of it for years, and now that it’s finally happening, I’m starting to get the feeling that it will be a big disaster.

Missing You is the newest Harlan Coben Netflix show available to stream. The series, which is based on Coben's 2014 novel of the same name, premiered on Jan. 1, 2025, and it's one of the most popular shows of the year so far. I know that's not saying much about a week into the year, but it's still good news for Coben, Netflix, and the fans who love all of the Harlan Coben Netflix shows!

Missing You has only five episodes, so we know that fans need more good shows like Missing You to watch after finishing the limited series. Instead of recommending all nine Harlan Coben Netflix shows to watch after Missing You, which you should do if you like the show, we shared a list of six non-Harlan Coben Netflix shows to watch if you're a fan of Missing You. It'd be easy to just re-share the list of the Harlan Coben Netflix shows,...

The Day of the Jackal season 2 is coming, and there’s a lot of loose ends that are still on our minds. Here's 5 burning questions we're looking forward to getting the answer to in the second season, which has been renewed. Spoilers from The Day of the Jackal season 1 below.

Season 1 of the Peacock thriller followed the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), a freelance assassin preparing to kill tech billionaire Ulle Dag Charles. Hunting him was Bianca (Lashana Lynch), an MI6 agent.

The finale had the Jackal succeed in killing Charles but was injured while on the run. After quitting Mi-6 over her superiors not seeming to care about catching the Jackal, Bianca was talked into tracking him off the books by superior Isabel. She hunted the Jackal to Spain but, in a shocking turn, the Jackal killed her.

The Jackal left only to be sideswiped by a car. It then cut...

The Day of the Jackal ended its first season with a shocking death that may be a bad move for the show!

Caution: This article contains Spoilers for the season 1 finale of The Day of the Jackal.

The Peacock adaptation of the classic novel followed the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), a freelance assassin, trying to kill tech billionaire Ulle Dag Charles. Meanwhile, Mi-6 agent Bianca (Lashana Lynch) was tracking him down.

The penultimate episode had the Jackal succeed in killing Charles, only to be injured while escaping. Meanwhile, Bianca was tracking him down, only for her boss Isabel to shut her down. Bianca worried that someone higher up didn’t seem to care if Jackal succeeded or not. Outraged at this, Bianca quit the agency. She went home to her husband to apologize and seemed ready to move on.

However, pushed by her superiors, Isabel told Bianca she needed her back on the case.

It looks like NBC has decided to follow in the footsteps of other competitive networks to try something new. The Day of the Jackal has become one of the biggest shows for the company's streaming service Peacock. And perhaps now, the momentum can keep going with a smart move.

NBC will broadcast the first episode of The Day of the Jackal starring Eddie Redmayne on Monday, Dec. 30 at 10 p.m. Et. As of this writing, the network did not share whether more episodes of the season will eventually air as well. It's likely NBC wants to test the waters to see how well the show will do with a television debut first.

Personally, I think there's a really good chance that this move could lead to more. The Day of the Jackal has a total of 10 episodes, which are all now streaming on Peacock. It's been a hit with viewers online,...

After an exciting and successful six-episodes, The Day of the Jackal ended its first season on a high note. No one saw the surprising season finale twist coming (I didn't!), but the ending definitely laid the groundwork for an even more exciting second season of the spy thriller. Thankfully, Peacock and Sky gave the series a quick renewal for season 2 after only a few weeks into season 1.

Between its excellent acting and storytelling and the breakaway viewership success, The Day of the Jackal was easily one of the best Peacock shows of 2024, and now that the first season is already in the books, all of us fans will be looking ahead to what's next. More specifically, we understandably want to know when they can see the Jackal back in action in season 2.

Well, there's some good and bad news on that front. While The Day of the Jackal season 2 has...

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Day of the Jackal” Episode 10, including the ending.]

“You remind me of my parents,” the man who goes by “Richard” (Eddie Redmayne) says to his elderly captive, Trevor (Philip Jackson).

“How did you get on with them?” Trevor replies.

“They were nice people,” Richard says, before clarifying: “Well-meaning people — like you.”

“If they were so nice,” Trevor says, accepting none of Richard’s bullshit, “where did you come from?”

In its first season, “The Day of the Jackal” doesn’t answer that question. Not completely, anyway. We see Richard, aka the Jackal, spending time in the British Army during the Second Gulf War, when he’s first approached about becoming an assassin for hire, but we don’t get any insight into how he became the world’s best sniper, who he was before enlisting, or what drove him to see life from behind a rifle’s scope in the first place.

It's been a great year for new shows on Peacock, capped off by The Day of the Jackal. There's still one more good show coming this year (Laid starring Stephanie Hsu on Dec. 19!), but for the most part, we've seen all we needed to see to share the best Peacock shows of 2024!

We picked the six best Peacock shows of the year and shared the list. If you need something to watch on Peacock and you missed one of these good shows, this is the list for you.

Let's get the list started with the biggest Peacock hit of the year, The Day of the Jackal starring Eddie Redmayne.

The Day of the Jackal is definitely the most popular show on this list.

Peacock and Sky have given the thriller The Day of the Jackal an early season two renewal. Starring Eddie Redmayne as the titular character, the series hit the top spot on Peacock’s Top 10 TV Shows list over its first weekend. The 10-episode first season premiered on November 14, 2024 and will wrap up on December 19th.

In addition to Eddie Redmayne, season one stars Lashana Lynch, Úrsula Corberó, Charles Dance, Richard Dormer, and Chukwudi Iwuji. Lia Williams, Khalid Abdalla, Eleanor Matsuura, Jonjo O’Neill, and Sule Rimi also stars.

“An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal (Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee,” reads Peacock’s synopsis. “But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lynch) who starts...

The Day of the Jackal is heating up after an extremely close call at the end of episode 5. We've come a long way since episode 1 when the Jackal had everything under control. The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne) killed Norman Stoke (Richard Dormer) while he was being tortured and interrogated and escaped Bianca (Lashana Lynch) and MI6.

In The Day of the Jackal episode 6, the Jackal finds shelter in a barn, but when he wakes, he’s knocked unconscious by the owner of the property. He’s tied up when he wakes up. The owner, Attila, who doesn’t speak English tries to send him on his way, but then he finds the Jackal’s gun and he drags him into his home to speak to someone and translate what the Jackal is saying.

The Jackal offers to pay the man holding him to let him go, but the other men want their cut.

The Day of the Jackal has premiered on Peacock, but is this new thriller worth watching?

The Day of the Jackal was first published in 1971 and was the breakout best-seller by Frederick Forsyth. A 1973 film adaptation followed, quite faithful to the novel, as a pack of French militants hire a mysterious assassin known only as The Jackal to kill French President Charles de Gaulle. 

The new Peacock series updates the story with Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne as the Jackal, hired to kill a tech billionaire. Lashana Lynch is the British agent tracking him across Europe. It takes a different tact than the original story with a focus on the Jackal's personal life, including  a wife unaware of his true actions.

The show just dropped its first five episodes on Peacock, with another five more coming, so what's the critical response to it?

Marcell Piti/Carnival Film and Television Limited What...

Complaining that you’ve seen this story before — specifically in regard to an adaptation of a book first published in 1971 that was already made into a movie in 1973 and again made into another movie in 1997 — is generally a waste of time. “The Day of the Jackal” is a piece of intellectual property. The only reason there’s a new iteration of Frederick Forsyth’s novel is because readers liked it back in the day, and then moviegoers liked seeing the story play out onscreen, and then moviegoers went to see it again 20 years later.

But hey, just because Roger Ebert ranked Fred Zinnemann’s “The Day of the Jackal” among his 10 best films of 1973 and then ranked “The Jackal” among his 10 worst films of 1997, that doesn’t mean the franchise is dead. If anything, it means most of the franchise’s maiden fans are dead — 1971 was a long time ago,...

Are you looking for the next engrossing drama to binge? Peacock’s new 10-episode thriller The Day of the Jackal, premiering on November 14, 2024, stars Eddie Redmayne as a master assassin with ice water in his veins and the skill to take out what should be untouchable targets.

The first five episodes will stream on November 14th, with new episodes arriving on Thursdays leading up to its epic finale on December 12th.

The riveting drama is based on Frederick Forsyth’s acclaimed novel, previously adapted into an Oscar-nominated film starring Edward Fox in 1973. Redmayne stars as The Jackal, Lashana Lynch is Bianca, and Úrsula Corberó is Nuria. The supporting cast includes Charles Dance, Richard Dormer, Chukwudi Iwuji, Lia Williams, Khalid Abdalla, Eleanor Matsuura, Jonjo O’Neill, and Sule Rimi.

“An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee,” reads Peacock’s synopsis.

Many NCIS fans are anxiously awaiting the return of Michael Weatherly to the series. He will join Cote de Pablo for the spinoff series NCIS: Tony & Ziva on Paramount+ in 2025. Weatherly has also shown off his impressive weight loss as they are shooting the season.

Here is a look at how much weight the actor has lost in anticipation of his big NCIS return.

Michael Weatherly Loses 35 Pounds For NCIS Return

Michael Weatherly knew he would have a lot more running around and action scenes in NCIS: Tony & Ziva than when he was on his last show, the legal drama Bull. As a result, he knew it was time to lose some weight. The results are impressive.

Lashana Lynch and Eddie Redmayne are going head-to-head in “The Day of the Jackal,” a British television drama adaptation of the Frederick Forsyth novel and subsequent award-winning 1973 film of the same name from Universal Pictures, which is slated to premiere Nov. 7 on Peacock and Sky.

An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, the Jackal (Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lynch) who starts to track him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in their wake.

“Our man works alone, an exceptional assassin. And never looks the same way twice,” Lynch says in Friday’s trailer. “I know I can find him.”

In addition to Redmayne and Lynch, the series stars Úrsula Corberó, with Charles Dance, Richard Dormer, Chukwudi Iwuji, Lia Williams, Khalid Abdalla, Eleanor Matsuura, Jonjo O’Neill,...
