About the Series
NCIS: Sydney is the first-ever international series in the long-running NCIS franchise and the fifth show in the global hit universe. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sydney Harbour and the Australian coastline, the series follows a multinational task force made up of U.S. NCIS agents and members of the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
With global naval tensions rising in the Indo-Pacific region, the team works together to investigate crimes that threaten national and international security — all while navigating cultural clashes, personal conflicts, and the unique dangers of life Down Under.
