NCIS fans were abuzz with excitement as Michael Weatherly, known for his portrayal of Tony DiNozzo, shared a cryptic message on social media. The actor, who left the long-running drama in 2016, posted a selfie on X, pointing to the side of his head and expressing contemplation about recent events.
Speculation about a possible return to the CBS show ran rampant in the comments section, with fans eagerly questioning if he’s making a comeback. Some speculated about a reunion with Ziva and Tali, while others expressed readiness for a “DiNozzo round 2.”
This follows Michael’s revelation a week prior, where he disclosed his plans to revisit his NCIS role someday. Responding to a fan’s inquiry about his favorite role, he indicated that there would be more of DiNozzo because the character felt unfinished.
Fans, agreeing with Michael’s sentiments, expressed their hopes for his return in the upcoming 21st season, which will include a special tribute to the late David McCallum, who played Ducky Mallard. The co-showrunners hinted at a touching moment in episode two, where Ducky helps the team solve one last crime from beyond the grave.
Michael departed NCIS in 2016 after a 13-year tenure, seeking new challenges and subsequently starring in the CBS courtroom drama, Bull, which concluded in 2022. Reflecting on his exit, he mentioned considering leaving after the departure of co-star Cote de Pablo, who played Ziva David, citing the loss of the dynamic between their characters as a factor. Michael expressed a desire for new endeavors and more time with his family.
