'NCIS' Season 12 Spoilers: Tony DiNozzo Will 'Have Fun & Play The Field' After Ziva David? [VIDEO]
It doesn't look like Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) will get serious with a new woman next season on NCIS.

Executive producer Gary Glasberg recently spoke with TVFanatic.com and revealed that Agent DiNozzo will have a lot of fun after the departure of his beloved Ziva David (Cote de Pablo).
"Tony is a smart guy and went through a really difficult year and we wrote it as a difficult year last year and did a lot of soul-searching and now it's time for him to get back to being Tony DiNozzo and I don't think that even Ziva David would have argued that as a friend," Glasberg said.

"Tony is going to go out and have fun and play the field and be Tony. And his friends are going to acknowledge that and comment on it and we're writing some fun stuff. It's not so much about locking Tony down with another woman. It's about Tony being Tony and that's the part that people need to embrace."
One of the several ladies that will cross Tony's path this season is Leia. The new agent will partner with Tony on a special case that involves a big terrorist threat on Navy researchers. There's no guarantee that the new character, played by Stephanie Jacobsen, will be anything more than just a fling.
"So it's us having fun with the idea that we're going to see a little bit of the old Tony DiNozzo again and hopefully everybody will have a good time with that," Glasberg said. "I'm very pleased with where his character is and is going six, seven episodes into season 12."
Season 12 of the hit CBS show will premiere at 8/7c on Tuesday, Sept. 23.
