It's a g'day to be a fan of NCIS down in Australia.
Paramount Australia on Monday revealed the cast of NCIS: Sydney, which is currently filming in the titular city.
The series will stream/air exclusively in Australia on Paramount+ and Network 10, as the first-ever international edition of the hit global franchise. (At this time, there are no plans for NCIS: Sydney to be available Stateside. Yet.)
The premise: As international tensions rise in the Indo-Pacific, a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS Agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are grafted into a multi-national task force, to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.
