Paramount+ has released the first look images for its forthcoming series NCIS: Sydney, which will stream exclusively on from 10 November in Australia.
Filmed in Australia, NCIS: Sydney is the first-ever international series from the global NCIS franchise outside of the US, and, according to the blurb, ‘sees rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific. The brilliant and eclectic team of US NCIS Agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are grafted into a multi-national taskforce, to keep naval crimes in check, in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.’
