NCIS: "Ziva's warning to Gibbs unfolds"

Cote de Pablo has been confirmed to guest star in the season premiere this fall but the question still remains if she will be around longer than just one episode. The word from producers is that "Ziva" comes back as her "warning to Gibbs unfolds". A timeline for that is still relatively unclear, however we can hope that she will be around for at least a few episodes.

NCIS: Lots to look forward to in season 17

We first have to learn more about the danger that "Ziva" came to warn "Gibbs" about as it must be significant if it warrants a comeback from Cote de Pablo herself. Fans have hope that there is a lot to look forward to in season 17 of NCIS and we think it's safe to say that CBS can expect big ratings for the premiere which airs on Tuesday September 24th, 2019 at 8 p.m ET.
