Shirtless Michael Weatherly reveals 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' premiere date
Weatherly announced the premiere date for his spinoff return with Cote de Pablo
There are official corporate announcements of TV show premieres, and then there's Michael Weatherly's way.
Weatherly, 56, seems to have forgotten his shirt when posting a video to his Instagram account on June 17, to declare when "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" will premiere on Paramount+, co-starring Cote de Pablo.
"No, there it is. No, I see it. It's coming Sept. 4," the unshaven Weatherly says to the camera with a cheeky smile during the informative yet nonsensical video.
Weatherly added in the comments, "It's like the fine wine people speak of...age must be appropriate, and timing, the decanting and ultimately the perfect setting." We're pretty sure we couldn't agree more.
To be fair, a fully and nattily dressed Weatherly, along with de Pablo, posted a video on the Paramount+ Instagram account announcing the premiere date earlier on June 17. It was a Save the Date message that showed the actors back in perfect full-banter form.
"That's my line, you always take my line," De Pablo lamented at one point.
When does 'NCIS: Tony and Ziva' return?
To quote Weatherly, "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 4.
The first trailer shows Tony DiNozzo (Weatherly) and Ziva David (de Pablo) still have that perfect sizzle in the "NCIS" reunion series.
The couple briefly lives the dream in Paris, running their security firm while caring for their 12-year-old daughter, Tali (Isla Gie). But their happily ever after is blown apart, sending the family on the run throughout Europe in the action series.
The family cannot get past their "NCIS" past. Ziva explains to Tali why she needs a bodyguard. Despite the precautions and a SAS-trained nanny, Sophie (Lara Rossi), Tali is nearly kidnapped in broad daylight, setting the show in motion.
