NCIS stars Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly are set to return for a currently untitled spin-off for Paramount+.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actors – who play on-screen couple Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo – will star in a 10-episode series set in Paris.
Ziva and Tony were last seen reuniting in the French capital during season 17 of the main show. Ziva was previously thought to have been killed off-screen after de Pablo's exit in 2013 with the character later being revealed to be alive in season 16.
The new show will see the pair forced to go on the run across Europe alongside their daughter Tali after Tony's security firm is attacked.

As well as working out who is after them, Ziva and Tony must also learn to trust each other again so they "can finally have their unconventional happily ever after."
What to Read Next
The show will be executive produced by Weatherly and de Pablo alongside Laurie Lieser, Christina Strain and Shelley Meals. The first episode was written by John McNamara, who will also serve as the series' showrunner.
"We've been talking about this story for many years, and now with John McNamara at the helm, we are ready," Weatherly and de Pablo said of the project in a statement. "The world of Tony and Ziva (and daughter Tali) promises to be an action-packed roller coaster fuelled by love, danger, tears and laughter.
"We also want to acknowledge and thank the fans from around the world who supported the 'TIVA' movement for years. To this day, they say hello in grocery stores and on the street to tell us how much these characters mean to them and ask what Tony and Ziva are up to now. This is for you."

"I'm incredibly excited to step into the NCIS universe with Cote and Michael and thrilled to explore it from a few new angles," McNamara added.
"Given that the franchise is such a global sensation, I think it's phenomenal that CBS Studios and Paramount+ have given us the green light to shoot in Europe. As to the title of this series, if I told you what it is, I'd be violating the Espionage Act."
Meanwhile, season 21 of NCIS recently premiered in the US, and Weatherly made an appearance on the show during a tribute episode to David McCallum.
NCIS airs on CBS in the US. Seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
