Building on its triumph, the franchise expanded further with spin-offs such as NCIS: Los Angeles, currently in its 13th season since debuting in 2009, and NCIS: New Orleans, which concluded after seven seasons.
As production commences on NCIS: Sydney, fans eagerly anticipate immersing themselves in the thrilling world of naval crime investigations set against the backdrop of the vibrant Australian landscape.
