On CBS and Paramount+ in November, a brand-new NCIS spin-off will premiere. But it’s not your usual NCIS Universe spin-off. The new show runs independently even though it shares the same history and universe as NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i. The first season of the new program, NCIS: Sydney, focuses on its Australian origins. Director Vance (played by Rocky Carroll), who isn’t scheduled to appear in the episodes, is probably still the boss of the NCIS agents who appear on the show.
What is NCIS: Sydney?
The new television program NCIS: Sydney focuses on maritime crimes in Australia. The premise of the show is that Australian Federal Police (AFP) and US NCIS officers would collaborate.
This collaborative task force will fight against jurisdictions while attempting to solve crimes. The show’s overarching theme will be global conflicts, but the emphasis will be on resolving crimes. The formula will be comparable to what American viewers currently see on NCIS.
When does NCIS: Sydney debut?
The first episode of NCIS: Sydney airs in Australia on Friday, November 10. It debuts on Paramount+ Australia for the local audience. NCIS: Sydney debuts in the United States on Tuesday, November 14. New episodes will air on Tuesdays at 8/7c. After episodes have aired on CBS, they will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ in the United States.
Who stars in the NCIS: Syndey cast?
The NCIS: Syndey cast stars Olivia Swann as NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey. Todd Lasance stars as Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey, who works for the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Mackey and Dempsey are the two core characters of the show, linking the two agencies. The cast also features Sean Sagar as NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson; Mavournee Hazel as AFP Forensic Scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson; Tuuli Narkle as AFP Liaison Officer Constable Evie Cooper; and William McInnes plays AFP Forensic Pathologist Dr. Roy Penrose.
The names may not yet be well-known to the American audience, but that could soon change. Following a protracted Hollywood strike, the NCIS writers are back at work. The crew faces a challenging challenge because they must deal with a character’s demise. Late in September, actor David McCallum passed away. On the NCIS cast, he portrayed Donald Mallard, Chief Medical Examiner. His supporters already miss him.
When NCIS Season 21 begins, the episodes will address what happened to Ducky. But they must do it right.
NCIS: Sydney debuts November 14 on CBS.
