In the coreNCISshow, Weatherlys character had left after Zivas presumed death to look after their daughter.
When Ziva was discovered alive, the pair were ultimately reunited in Paris.
Weatherly and de Pablo are exec producers as is series writer and showrunner John McNamara.
Filming is set to begin in four weeks.
Are we shooting out of our weight-class here with a different kind of story?
John [McNamara] is not from theNCISuniverse, so were introducing a new voice.
Brian Dietzen and Wilmer Valderrama Want In
Could otherNCISstars make an appearance in Tony and Zivas spinoff?
Dietzen, who plays Dr. Jimmy Palmer on the mothership, is game.
FellowNCIS-er Valderrama said he would also like to some European action for his character in the mothership series.
