Sizzlin' Summer Streaming 23' - NCIS: Sydney - Season One

NCIS: Sydney is the latest Aussie series to land on Paramount+. NCIS: Sydney is a spin-off of NCIS and its franchise, which follows a fictional team of special agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) investigating crimes

Landing on the streamer mid-November, the series aired weekly concluding virtually on New Year's Eve! Hot on the heels of episode eight, the season finale, there are hot rumours a second season is incoming.

If you are not a subscriber and waiting for a free to air screening, apparently Network 10 will air the first season mid-2024.

The series is the first international spin-off for the NCIS franchise and features local Australian actors and producers. Although the show is set in Sydney, the closest real-life NCIS field office in Australia is actually located in Perth, which is 3,290 km away.

Set in Sydney, the show follows a joint task force that involves NCIS agents and Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers working together on investigations involving American military and navy personnel.

Starring Olivia Swann as Michelle Mackey, NCIS Special Agent-in-Charge, Todd Lasance as Jim "JD" Dempsey, Australian Federal Police (AFP) Second-in-Command, Sean Sagar (HOT!) as DeShawn Jackson, NCIS Special Agent (SA), Tuuli Narkle as Constable Evie Cooper, AFP Liaison Officer, Mavournee Hazel as Bluebird "Blue" Gleeson, AFP forensic scientist and Aussie favourite, William McInnes as Roy "Rosie" Penrose, AFP forensic pathologist.

McInnes fresh from his epic performance on The Newsreader season two, he is no stranger to Australian TV.

Blonde Ambition was a carry on from the previous episode Bunker Down, including a character (villain) who was introduced in the pilot, Gone Fission.

Yes at times the show was corny, yes it is very US network TV made on Aussie soil, however it actually got better as the eight episode run went on.

It's been a hit in the USA. Yes there has been very little competition this TV. However on CBS it even beats Survivor's 45th season.

Now no spoilers as this show may have skipped past a few of you, however if the rumours are true of a second season, it is totally all set up for one.

It leaves you on one massive cliffhanger.

What will happen to the NCIS team back at the Sydney HQ? I'd say this will be renewed early 2024 at this stage. That was a fun season finale!
