NCIS: Tony & Ziva Season 2 in the works?
As of now, no official announcement has been made about a second season of the show. However, both fans and members of the cast are hoping that the show will be renewed for a second season.
As per People, Michael Weatherly, who plays Anthony ‘Tony’ DiNozzo, and Cote de Pablo, the actress who plays the role of Ziva David, are both looking forward to a second season.
“I think we’d be lucky to play these characters for — look, I’ll say this: Season 1 was like a dream. It was so much fun to go back and revisit these characters. Where this goes, we know not,” de Pablo said to TV Insider. “We’re just grateful that we got a chance to do it, and the rest is the rest. If we got a chance to do it again, we’d be thrilled," she added.
The show’s creator and co-executive producer, John McNamara, is keeping his fingers crossed for a second season to be given the go-ahead.
“There’s a great Jewish word, kennehora. Don’t curse the future ... So I, obviously, I think about it, but I am really, really, really, intensely superstitious about these things,” he was quoted as saying by Deadline.
