Weatherly previously appeared as a main cast member across the show's first 13 seasons. He also reprised Tony in 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva.' His return to the flagship series extends across the season.
Sean Murray returns as Timothy McGee, alongside Wilmer Valderrama as Torres and Gary Cole as Alden Parker. Katrina Law plays Jessica Knight.
