Cote De Pablo NCIS cast Ziva David from 2005 to 2020.

Cote Pablo has had an exciting acting career in the entertainment industry; you name it: films, commercials, broadway, tv series, and the like. But her first breakthrough that got through her many milestones and achievements was her portrayal as the Israeli Mossad officer turned NCIS agent Ziva David, in the hit police drama series NCIS, from 2003 to 2013.

Why did Cote De Pablo Leave?

After 8 Seasons in the NCIS TV series that awarded her honors and accolades, you could wonder why Cote De Pablo still left the famous TV show; now, what was the reason why she left the show?

Cote De Pablo left NCIS after Season 13 due to political reasons and disagreement with the script for Ziva David. She was invested with her character and out of respect for the growth and development of what she portrayed Ziva David as she left the show. In an interview around 2016, Cote gave the details on why she left the show after season 13; she said,

“Because of the disagreement we had due to political involvement and a bad script for my character, I had to leave NCIS, unfortunately. Look, I have grown to love my character after 8 years of portraying her but when the moment came that the crew took a turn on her script and she wasn’t being treated with the respect and love my character deserved, I had to leave. The script involved Ziva to go back to Israel and turn her lovable and strong character into an unfortunate and miserable woman”,

De Pablo shared.

Ziva did “die” in the Season 13 finale of NCIS due to a mortar attack, but Ziva David made a surprise return three seasons later, specifically in Season 16 & 17 of the show. She faked her death and ultimately went to Paris with her husband, Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly), and her child, Tali, to live a comfortable life.
