NCIS: Sydney, a spinoff of the popular NCIS franchise, is restoring a tradition by moving its debut date to Tuesday at 8 PM. The show focuses on rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific and follows a team of U.S. NCIS Agents and the Australian Federal Police. It has an ensemble cast and will be one of the few scripted originals airing on broadcast TV during the ongoing strikes. Originally intended for Paramount+, the spinoff shifted to CBS due to a lack of original programming.
