Third season gets its Free to Air debut, in a 7:30pm slot.
Season 3 of NCIS: Sydney premieres on 10 next week, bringing scripted drama to a 7:30pm timeslot.
There are a bumper 20 episodes in S3, meaning it could feasibly play out until late November.
Returning cast include Todd Lasance, Olivia Swann, Mavournee Hazel, Sean Sagar, Tuuli Narkle and William McInnes.
Claude Jabbour joins as a recurring guest, and guest stars this season are Doris Younane, Simone Kessell, Fayssal Bazzi, Stephen Peacocke, Lincoln Lewis, Anthony Hayes and more.
This screened on Paramount+ last October. Filming is also underway on a fourth season.
After their croc-fuelled Top End adventure, the team are back in the glistening Harbour City, but something even more dangerous is coming back to bite them… their own pasts.
Blue (Mavournee Hazel) is hunted down by her so-called “family” who harbour a shocking ulterior motive; while DeShawn (Sean Sagar) is forced to admit he concealed a crucial piece of evidence in a court-martial to protect someone very close.
JD (Todd Lasance) must deal with the fallout from a Faustian pact to keep the team intact within the context of a crumbling relationship… while Evie (Tuuli Narkle) tentatively embarks on a new one; and Doc Roy (William McInnes) must decide if he’s ready to let go.
Against a backdrop of adrenaline pumping cases, our beloved team are put to the test like never before, involving an outback alien abduction, a nano-tech assassin, a true crime podcast cold case, a journey to Antarctica, a swashbuckling treasure hunt, and an international conspiracy with links to… Mackey (Olivia Swann).
NCIS: Sydney is produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment company) for CBS Studios and Paramount Australia and distributed outside Australia by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
7:30pm Thursday July 16 on 10.
