The official cast of “NCIS: Sydney,” the latest spin-off of CBS’ long-running franchise and the first set outside the United States, has announced its full cast.
As international tensions rise in the Indo-Pacific region, the series will follow the eclectic team of U.S. NCIS Agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP), who are grafted into a multi-national taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.
The show will be led by two faces that will be familiar to genre audiences. Olivia Swann, who played Astra Logue over several seasons of The CW’s “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” will star as NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey who leads the team.
Former “Home and Away” alum Todd Lasance, who played a young Julius Caesar on Starz’s “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” stars as her AFP counterpart Sergeant Jim ‘JD’ Dempsey.
Also onboard are Sean Sagar (“The Covenant”) as NCIS Special Agent DeShawn Jackson, Tuuli Narkle (“Mystery Road: Origin”) as AFP Liaison Officer Constable Evie Cooper, Mavournee Hazel (“Shantaram”) as AFP Forensic Scientist Bluebird ‘Blue’ Gleeson, and Aussie acting veteran William McInnes (“The Newsreader”) as AFP Forensic Pathologist Dr Roy Penrose.
Endemol Shine Australia is producing the series which is currently filming in and around the Australian harbor city and will launch later on Paramount+ service.
