NCIS Sydney, the new spin-off of the popular procedural franchise, has confirmed a fall 2023 release date in the US. The rest of the NCIS shows have been indefinitely delayed due to ongoing strikes involving the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. NCIS Sydney will debut in Australia on November 10 on Paramount+, followed by its American premiere on November 13 on CBS. CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach expressed excitement about expanding the franchise with an Australian twist. The future return of the rest of the NCIS universe and other scripted shows remains uncertain as the strikes continue.
