Paramount + Drama NCIS: Sydney has been updated for its third season, which begins filming again in Sydney on Monday.
NCIS: Sydney is the first iteration of a franchise based outside the US, following the eclectic team of US NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
Olivia Swann and Todd Rasance led the cast as CIS special agents Michelle McKee and Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey, respectively. Sean Sagar has joined us as NCIS special agent Deshawn Jackson. Tuuli Narkle is AFP Liaison Officer and Officer Evie Cooper. Mavournee Hazel, Dr. Roy Penrose, AFP forensic scientist, Bluebird “Blue” Gleason, and AFP forensic pathologist William McKins.
Endemol Shine Australia produces a series for CBS Studios and commissioner Paramount Australia, distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
The first season has become one of the most viewed local series since Paramount+ Australia’s launch, winning a 2024 TV Weekly Logie nomination for Best Drama. It then premiered on CBS US as the No. 1 new drama in the fall of the 2023-2024 season, with the series premiere reaching over 10 million viewers in the US, including an encore episode.
The second season premiered earlier this month, picking up on teams who had conducted investigations that revealed the looming destructive turmoil in the face of a much stronger enemy.
A creative advisor at Paramount Australia’s Dramarik Meyer said he was very excited that the cast and crew were back in production.
“I’ve become proud that the Australian series is doing this well on a global scale,” he said.
“The second season of NCIS: Sydney is already based on its first success, and the script for Series 3 is in great shape.”
Executive producer and director of Endemole Shine Australia’s script, Sarah Richardson, is pleased to bring a distinctive Australian touch to such an established and universally beloved franchise. I’ve said that.
“Endemol Shine Australia is honoured to bring this proud third season of Australian production to the screen,” she said.
“The success of Season 1 and Season 2 are unfolding all over the world. We are very excited to return to the team and film in some of our country’s most beautiful and breathtaking locations. Masu.”
Executive producer and showrunner Morgan O’Neill said the creative team is considering “raising the ante” again in the upcoming season.
“With two seasons under our belt, we look forward to bringing even more fun, high octane action from the incredible NCIS: Sydney team,” he said. .
