After "NCIS," Michael Weatherly maintained a working relationship with CBS, per Glenn Geller's wishes, through the six seasons of "Bull" that aired between 2016 and 2022. During the show's first few seasons he periodically appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and "The Late Late Show with James Corden," both of which air on CBS as well.
Impacting Weatherly's career after "NCIS," however, was a serious accusation from his former "Bull" co-star Eliza Dushku. She alleged that one day on set, Weatherly made multiple sexually inappropriate comments in conversation with her. She then claimed that, after she confronted Weatherly, CBS fired her from the series as a form of retaliation. A New York Times report about this incident recounts how the network and Dushku ultimately agreed to a settlement payment equivalent to a four-season salary. Weatherly, meanwhile, sent the outlet a letter personally apologizing to Dushku. The TV arm of Steven Spielberg's company Amblin backed out of the show's production once this all came to light.
After the conclusion of "Bull" in May of 2022, Weatherly has yet to officially confirm any subsequent TV or film roles.
