With a new season comes new challenges, powerful adversaries, and bigger cases. As fans wait for the highly anticipated series to return, we answer all your burning questions regarding NCIS: Sydney including plot, where to watch and premiere date.

What is the plot for NCIS: Sydney season two?

In the initial few episodes of season one, it was like pulling at teeth trying to get the American and Australian detectives to work together. Somewhere in the eight-episode series, the team found their feet.

In an exclusive interview with TV WEEK, Todd explained that season two “picks up the exact next second” after the final frame of season one.

“It ended with the Colonel’s phone ringing and Mackey standing in front of him asking him to answer it, reaching for a gun,” explained Olivia.

“The investigation into Rankin reveals a looming destructive chaos that threatens the stability of the region,” Paramount’s description read. “The cases are bigger, locations more exotic, the stakes much higher. With everything on the line, will NCIS: Sydney triumph against all odds – or be torn apart at their very core? ”

While the actors and the crew remain tight-lipped on the specifics, Todd reveals that it will eventually see the team travel outside of Sydney to Darwin.

“Shooting for three weeks in that climate, those conditions and that heat and environment – essentially surrounded by crocodiles… it was phenomenal out there,” he said.
