Fans of the NCIS franchise expressed anger and disappointment at the announcement of a new spin-off series, NCIS Sydney. The show, which follows the same procedural format as the original, will be set in international waters and will be the first in the franchise to take place outside of the United States. Many fans called for the return of the cancelled NCIS Los Angeles spin-off, expressing frustration that the new series was being prioritized. Despite the backlash, some fans were excited about the new Australian spin-off. NCIS Sydney will premiere on November 13th on CBS in the USA.
