Will Tony and Ziva ever reunite? Many NCIS fans have probably been wondering since she left the show last October.

For the first time, executive producer Gary Glasberg gave a pretty definitive answer. He told TVGuide.com that he's "sure" they will cross paths again.

The actor who plays Tony, Michael Weatherly, also said that the reunion would definitely be a good one.

"I am deeply fascinated by what kind of fireworks would result," Weatherly said. "I absolutely know that it would not be without an explosive quality."

Recurring show director Dennis Smith also recently teased a possible Ziva (Cote de Pablo) return via Twitter. "Just talking about 'Truth or Consequences' with Mr. Weatherly and Mr. Stern the other night over a nice bottle of wine," he wrote on Aug. 3.

Truth or Consequences, the premiere episode of the seventh season in 2009, focused on Ziva's rescue after months of captivity. The episode also shows Tony risking his life to save Ziva.

"Mr. Stern" is in reference to writer Jesse Stern, who also took to Twitter to tease fans. "Hi #TivaCamp2014 been thinking a little bit about a follow up to Truth or Consequences lately. Think that'd be fun?" he wrote.

But, what about the new woman that Glasberg said is coming into Tony's life? He revealed that this new woman will appear around the fourth episode of season 12 and the two will meet through a special case. 

"It's time for Tony to continue to grow a little bit," he previously told TVLine.com. "He went through a lot last year emotionally and tried to deal with Ziva's departure as he could."

Season 12 of the hit CBS show will premiere at 8/7c on Tuesday, Sept. 23.
