Netflix has changed its mind concerning the hit TV show NCIS. The streaming giant had said that it was removing the series completely at the end of June. This upset many fans, as it remains one of the most watched shows on television, and that includes on Netflix. The good news is that Netflix won’t remove the entire series.
Here is a look at what Netflix is doing with NCIS and when it goes into effect.
Netflix Will Keep Some NCIS Seasons After June
The original news stated that Netflix was removing NCIS from the streaming service at the end of June. It wasn’t much of a surprise since Paramount+ is the official home of the show and has the new episodes up after they air on CBS. However, for past seasons, the two streaming services shared the show.
That will remain true after June, now. However, it will only be a small number of seasons remaining on Netflix. The network already was missing newer seasons, and only had the first through the 15th season available. Anyone who wanted to follow the seasons after that had to go through Paramount+. Now, the news has changed. The only seasons leaving Netflix are Seasons 1-11. This means all that is left on Netflix will be Seasons 12-15, just four in the middle of the show’s run.
While no reason was given, the cutoff for the seasons makes it pretty obvious. CBS wants anyone who wishes to see Tony and Ziva together to watch it on Paramount+, not Netflix.
Tony & Ziva NCIS Spinoff Series Coming
NCIS: Tony & Ziva is coming to Paramount+, bringing the two fan favorites back together again. They will be on a huge adventure in Europe when someone attacks and kills people at Tony’s security company and the two flee to protect their daughter and themselves from whoever wants them dead.
What that has to do with Netflix is simple. The Tony and Ziva story began in Season 3 when she showed up to replace Caitlin Todd. It was a tough transition since Ziva’s brother killed Caitlin. However, Ziva shot her brother to save Gibbs and earned her spot on the team.
Tony and Ziva began their long relationship at that point, and it all ended in Season 11 when Ziva appeared to have died. Her last full season on the show was Season 11, which means her entire main run will no longer be on Netflix.
Ziva returned in a cameo appearance in Season 16 and was recurring in Season 17. Those are also not on Netflix. NCIS: Tony & Ziva will be the characters’ first time back together since Season 11. If anyone wants to catch up on Ziva’s run, none of her appearances will be available on Netflix.
Are you disappointed that every Ziva NCIS appearance is leaving Netflix at the end of June?
