Eric Christian Olsen, best known for his role as Marty Deeks in NCIS: Los Angeles, is keeping a close eye on the upcoming spinoff NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which is set to see Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprise their iconic roles. As excitement builds around the series, Olsen’s recent comments are stirring up enthusiasm among fans.
What’s Coming in NCIS: Tony & Ziva?
Set against the backdrop of Europe, Tony & Ziva will follow the beloved duo as they navigate life on the run with their tween daughter. While there hasn’t been confirmation of any other NCIS characters joining them, Olsen expressed his interest in being part of the adventure.
Olsen’s Playful Suggestion
During the production of Tony & Ziva, Michael Weatherly shared a behind-the-scenes photo featuring camels, prompting Olsen to comment, “How am I not on this show?” His playful question resonates with fans who are eager to see Deeks back in action, even if just for a brief cameo.
Fans Weigh In
The excitement is palpable, with fans chiming in on social media. Comments like “yes!! Pleaseeeee!!! I miss seeing you on my screen!!” and “petition for this here!!” highlight the demand for Deeks to make an appearance, whether in person or via video chat.
Previous Spinoff Interest
This isn’t the first time Olsen has expressed interest in joining another NCIS spinoff. Last year, he made a pitch for NCIS: Sydney, noting that “Deeks loves surfing and Oz has great waves.” Although he didn’t appear in the first season, with Season 2 on the horizon, there’s still hope for his return.
A Possible Return to the Franchise?
Given that LL Cool J reprised his role as Sam Hanna in NCIS: Hawai’i and Daniela Ruah appeared as Kensi Blye during NCIS’s 1,000th episode, there’s a strong possibility that Olsen could join the fray in some capacity. Weatherly even humorously responded to Olsen, suggesting, “Easy Tiger—if #deadpoolandwolverine taught us anything, it’s… You will be better at the next retort.”
What Would a Deeks Appearance Look Like?
Should Olsen join the Tony & Ziva spinoff, it would make sense for Deeks to connect with the duo through a video call or perhaps find himself embroiled in an international case linked to their adventures.
Conclusion
While it remains uncertain if other NCIS stars will join the new spinoff, one thing is clear: Eric Christian Olsen is keen on returning to the franchise. For now, fans can revisit his iconic role as Deeks in NCIS: Los Angeles while hoping for an exciting comeback
