A cancelled NCIS offshoot is suddenly moving like a proven franchise again — NCIS: Tony & Ziva is climbing digital charts on three platforms. In the United States, it’s on iTunes inside the weekly Top 10: #10 for at least 3 days in a row, including today, a placement that reflects real purchase and rental demand.

France is where the comeback turns into a statement. On M6+, NCIS: Tony & Ziva is #1 and has stayed there every day since January 22 through January 28 (at the time of writing). In addition to iTunes and M6+, SkyShowtime’s FlixPatrol rankings also show the series spreading across multiple markets at once: Hungary is #10 (holding steady from yesterday), the Czech Republic is #10, Slovakia is #10 (unchanged from yesterday), Serbia is #10, and North Macedonia has climbed as high as #8. Croatia also appeared earlier, including a #9 ranking yesterday, underscoring the show’s growing footprint across the region.

The momentum is interestingly coming in structurally. The NCIS: Tony & Ziva trailers on YouTube have also been pulling traction. The show’s first-look trailer is up +285, and the official trailer is up +393 on YouTube. That’s the blueprint for a previously canceled idea brought back to life: consistent paid-chart presence, top-of-service dominance in a major market, and rising awareness. And because these charts update daily, the repeat placements matter: it’s not a one-day curiosity. However, since the series was already cancelled after the first installment, this wouldn’t necessarily lead to a reversal of that decision.

Why Was 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' Canceled After One Season?

NCIS: Tony & Ziva aired back in September 2025 after a three-episode premiere. Paramount+ cancelled NCIS: Tony & Ziva after one season on December 19, 2025, and no detailed creative reason was publicly given in the official reporting. In practice, one-season streamer cancellations usually come down to a cold performance equation: did the show drive enough new subscribers, retention, and completion rate to justify its cost versus other franchise bets?

Tony & Ziva was a more expensive, globe-trotting entry with a narrower event hook, and Paramount+ has been making tougher portfolio calls while prioritizing fewer, bigger winners. So that’s one reason why it might have been put off. The current come-up isn’t substantial enough to raise hopes for a reversal either.

NCIS: Tony & Ziva’s Season 1 is available to stream on Paramount+ and can be rented on iTunes. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
