NCIS: Sydney is an Australian military action television series which premiered to streaming on Paramount+ Australia on 10 November 2023 and on network television on CBS in the US (and Paramount+ streaming internationally) on November 14. The series is set to premiere on free-to-air television in Australia on Network 10 in mid-2024.[2][3][4] The series is the first international spin-off for the NCIS franchise and features both local Australian actors and producers.[5]

Premise

NCIS: Sydney is a spin-off of NCIS (itself a spinoff of the series JAG), the fifth member of the franchise which follows fictional teams of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) investigating crimes. Set in Sydney, Australia,[5] the series follows a joint task force that involves both NCIS and Australian Federal Police (AFP) agents working together on investigations involving current or former American navy personnel.[6]

Although the show is set in Sydney, the closest real-life NCIS field office in Australia is actually located in Perth, 3,290 km (2,040 mi) away from the fictional Sydney field office.[7]

Cast

Production

On 16 February 2022, it was reported that a spin-off set in Sydney, Australia, was in the works. NCIS: Los Angeles producer Shane Brennan was attached to the project.[5]
