TORONTO, September 7, 2023 – This fall, Global takes Canadian viewers down under with the latest addition to its stacked primetime lineup, NCIS: Sydney. Filmed against the spectacular backdrop of one of the world’s most breathtaking harbour cities, the eight-episode season of NCIS: Sydney will air Mondays, beginning Monday, November 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Global and STACKTV in simulcast with CBS. This series marks the first-ever international edition of the top-rated ‘NCIS’ television franchise.
With rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are pulled into a multinational taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet. NCIS: Sydney marks the fifth series in the popular global ‘NCIS’ franchise, which includes NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i, both picked up for their 21st and third seasons, respectively.
The series stars Olivia Swann (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The River Wild) as NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey and Todd Lasance (Without Remorse, Spartacus: War of the Damned) as her 2IC AFP counterpart, Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey. They are joined by Sean Sagar (The Covenant, Mea Culpa) as NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson; Tuuli Narkle (Mystery Road: Origin, Bad Behaviour) as AFP liaison officer Constable Evie Cooper; Mavournee Hazel (Shantaram, Halifax: Retribution) as AFP forensic scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson and William McInnes (The Newsreader, Total Control) as AFP forensic pathologist Dr. Roy Penrose.
NCIS: Sydney is produced for CBS Studios and Paramount Australia by Endemol Shine Australia and distributed outside Australia by Paramount Global Content Distribution. The series is created by Morgan O’Neill (Les Norton), who also serves as executive producer alongside Endemol Shine Australia’s Sara Richardson (RFDS) and Sue Seeary (Ten Pound Poms).
