Watch the ‘NCIS: Sydney’ Season 2 Trailer
Available to watch above, the NCIS: Sydney Season 2 trailer is jam-packed full of action, indicating another stellar season ahead for the show. With Season 1 receiving a strong 73% critical rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 has a lot to live up to, with this spin-off’s return highly anticipated. A ship hijacking, recapturing a stolen missile, and plenty of wild explosions for good measure – it seems Season 2 of NCIS: Sydney will have a bit of everything following the trailer. That also seems to be the case when listening to the show’s star, Olivia Swan, a.k.a. NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey. In an interview with TVLine, Swann promised even more action and suspense for Season 2 as producers dial up the drama.
“Season 2 goes above and beyond the action in Season 1! There are so many scenes and sequences coming up this season that I’d love to mention but, spoilers! We definitely hit the ground running with the first two episodes — car chases, explosions, and a gun fight on a pirate ship, to name a few. There’s a lot of cool things to come!”
Swann also spoke about where Season 2 is set to begin, with the cliffhanger finale of Season 1 keeping fans with burning questions on their mind for almost seven months. Swann said, “Season 2 is almost a direct pick up from the end of Season 1. We’re thrown right back in — with Mackey staring down Rankin, hand on her gun. There’s tension and intrigue from the get-go and it only ramps up from there!”
With a synopsis for Season 2 not available, here’s a look at the synopsis for the show in its entirety:
With rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, a brilliant and eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are grafted into a multinational taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet. Led by NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey and Sgt. Jim “JD” Dempsey, the team of Americans and Aussies must quickly learn to trust each other, overcoming and harnessing their differences to solve each case. Though jurisdictional tussles and culture clashes make for a rocky start, Mackey comes to respect JD’s nose for the truth, and JD comes to respect her maverick style. Meanwhile, sassy AFP Constable Evie Cooper and endlessly curious Special Agent DeShawn Jackson form a fast friendship, while curmudgeonly forensic pathologist Dr. Roy Penrose meets his match in the brilliant young forensic scientist Bluebird “Blue” Gleeson.
