The start of the season will be focus on DiNozzo's flirtatious relationship with Ziva, and it's an enticing one.

3) Richard Parsons returns.

"Back on the NCIS set and I've decided that when I die I want to come back as Mark Harmon's dog. #RealWondermutt," he tweeted in July.

"Oh yes. And McGee has Delilah...." the actor wrote on Sept. 4.

Character Timothy McGee will have his eyes on his new love interest, who could even appear more than once. TVLine reported that she's a "perky, smart, eccentric and downright lovable computer wonk at the Department of Defense." There's no word, however, who will play the latest addition to the show.

5) The season will make television history.

The show's executive producer Gary Glasberg tweeted an open letter to fans discussing the upcoming season and Ziva's departure. He assured viewers that season 11 will be a memorable one.
