NCIS star arrived in Budapest: spin-off filming started
Change language:
The NCIS star is already in Budapest: one of the main protagonists of the legendary series posted a photo on his Instagram page sitting in a Budapest restaurant. That is good news for the fans since it means the filming of the NCIS spin-offs focusing on Tony and Ziva has started.
A new spin-off filmed in Budapest
The NCIS: Tony and Ziva is the newest spin-off of the NCIS franchise. The main characters of the new series are ‘revived’ by ‘regulars’ Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo. Pablo left the original series after Season 11, while Weatherly did so after Season 13. Moreover, a famous international group of actors and actresses will join them in Budapest. One of them already took selfies in the magnificent Hungarian capital.
According to variety.com, the filming of the ten new episodes already started in Hungary. Weatherly and Pablo will take the roles of Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo. Their 12-year-old daughter, Tali, will be portrayed by Isla Gie. About the character, Variety wrote that “she is sick of being treated like a child. She’s more intuitive and vigilant than the adults around her give her credit for and she’s ready to prove this to them.”
I do like both Tony and Ziva, but this show has long run its course.
The first ten or so seasons were great and the next 3-4 were passable. Those afterward don’t hold a candle to the show as it originally began. They really should’ve wrapped the whole thing up with the departure of Abby.
