Laura Hurley has been writing about the entertainment industry for more than twelve years, after a decade as a content producer and editor at CinemaBlend after writing for WhatCulture and Examiner. Attending events like SCAD TVfest and San Diego Comic-Con over the course of her career, she has been immersed in the world of network, streaming, and cable TV.

The NCIS franchise is coming back to CBS in a big way this fall, with three shows filling up one entire night of primetime. While the premiere of NCIS: New York is definitely notable for bringing LL Cool J's Sam Hanna back as a series regular for the first time since NCIS: Los Angeles, but the other two shows could deliver a reunion that has been a very long time coming. Mark Harmon and Michael Weatherly are coming back at the perfect time for Gibbs and Tony to finally reunite.

Michael Weatherly is returning to NCIS in the wake of NCIS: Tony and Ziva getting cancelled, and Cote de Pablo's Ziva won't be with him as his primary scene partner. Meanwhile, Mark Harmon is moving beyond just narrating for the upcoming third season of NCIS: Origins. The stars are finally aligning for Tony and Gibbs to cross paths in CBS' fall TV premiere schedule.
