If there’s one thing we need in Australia it’s more crime shows featuring our favourite Aussie actors.
So thankfully, Paramount+ has announced an Australian series from the global NCIS franchise, NCIS: SYDNEY.
Yes, that’s right the series that made Mark Harmon a star is getting an Australian makeover. Hopefully, our crime fighters will be spotted eating Chiko rolls!
While no casting announcements have been named yet – here at B&T we are praying that Hugh Sheridan and Zoe Terakes get a call! And if Ms Kidman is free give her a call too! Hell, see if Mr Urban would like to become an actor!
The original series, and the latest instalment of the iconic global franchise, will launch exclusively on Paramount+ and Network 10 in Australia while debuting internationally on Paramount+ in 2023.
It will also be filmed right here in Sydney. So hopefully our favourite suburbs get shown off to the world. Maybe the northern beaches will even get its own spin-off show!
NCIS: SYDNEY marks the first iteration of the hit NCIS series based outside of the U.S. The show will feature local stories and creative talent, including NCIS: LOS ANGELES creator and Australian, Shane Brennan.
Chief content officer and executive vice president of ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, Beverley McGarvey, said: “We are thrilled to welcome the inaugural international series of NCIS to Australian shores.
“It is such a privilege to be able to continue the legacy of such a wonderful show and incorporate the superior NCIS storytelling while introducing new Australian characters and locations. We can’t wait to get production underway.”
NCIS is one of the world’s most successful TV dramas, ranking as the #1 U.S. TV drama franchise globally. NCIS, NCIS: LOS ANGELES and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS, have been seen in over 200 markets worldwide and NCIS won the International Audience Award as the most-watched television series by Médiamétrie and Eurodata in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
