Because it was introduced, followers have puzzled if we will count on any crossovers within the NCIS: Tony & Ziva spinoff. On the San Diego Comedian-Con panel for the upcoming sequence, which ScreenRant‘s Rachel Foertsch attended, showrunner John McNamara teased that that’s certainly what the NCIS: Tony & Ziva spinoff, which simply dropped a brand new SDCC trailer, is already establishing.

Actually, it is going to be fairly the other, and if followers’ pleasure at NCIS star Brian Dietzen moderating the Tony & Ziva panel in a mini-crossover is something to go by, that is good. Mentioned McNamara:
“Characters are referred to as out by title a number of occasions in a really loving, typically very sarcastic approach. However as we had been filming these scenes, I assumed we had been nearly setting the stage for precisely what you are speaking about.”
