Entering into the summer hiatus, Weatherly was one of four series regulars who had new contracts to negotiate, lest they not RSVP for Season 8. Now that he, Pauley Perrette (Abby) and David McCallum (Ducky) have hammered out new deals, all eyes are now on Sean Murray (who plays McGee).
Series lead Mark Harmon, as well as Cote de Pablo (Ziva) and Rocky Carroll (Vance), already were signed through next season.
