NCIS: Sydney is nearly right here and can open up an entire new world for the long-running franchise. The sequence is NCIS‘ first worldwide spinoff, and CBS was even celebrating by airing Sydney commercials the other way up to get folks . Whereas the NCIS: Sydney forged is already accomplished, there’s at all times the likelihood extra stars might be added. May that even embrace Hawaii 5-0’s Australian lead Alex O’Loughlin?
In 2011, NCIS: Los Angeles’ Daniela Ruah appeared on Hawaii 5-0 to reprise NCIS Particular Agent Kensi Blye, and this introduced the Hawaii-set sequence into the NCIS franchise. Much more, the 2 exhibits had a two-part crossover occasion the next yr. Though Hawaii 5-0 ended three years in the past, that doesn’t essentially imply that it’s the top of the characters. Creator Morgan O’Neill tells TVLine that there’s at all times a risk they might be introduced again:
Look, we haven’t written off the opportunity of him popping up. Alex is a unbelievable actor, as you’ll properly know. . . . I don’t know what it’s within the water down right here, however Australians generally tend to sort of bat a bit out of our weight class on the subject of producing actors and artistic folks. So, I’m fairly certain Alex will pop up someplace. He’s a unbelievable actor and a superb man.
O’Loughlin’s final appearing credit score was Hawaii 5-0, with nothing new deliberate but. It’s been three years since followers final noticed him on their screens. He was fairly regular with the appearing since 2003 and starred on all 10 seasons of the CBS procedural, so it’s not shocking that he would wish to take a little bit of a break. Nonetheless, his return to tv is certainly lengthy overdue. A present filming in his dwelling nation and returning to CBS would absolutely be icing on the cake.
Even when Alex O’Loughlin does ultimately seem on NCIS: Sydney, it’s at all times potential that Steve McGarrett gained’t. The actor might painting a very completely different character as an alternative, because it’s been accomplished earlier than. Take Katrina Legislation, as an example. O’Loughlin’s former Hawaii 5-0 co-star now stars on the mothership NCIS sequence as Jessica Knight quite than Quinn Liu. Both means, it could undoubtedly be good to see him on NCIS: Sydney, it doesn’t matter what who he performs. It doesn’t appear to be that might be taking place any time quickly, however hopefully the sequence might be renewed for a second season, so there are extra probabilities.
In the meantime, NCIS: Sydney could also be happening Down Underneath, however that isn’t stopping the sequence from referencing the remainder of the NCIS franchise. Morgan O’Neill beforehand teased that there are Easter Eggs, however clearly wouldn’t specify what and the way. NCIS is an enormous group, so it’s possible the U.S. brokers on Sydney have come throughout or at the very least heard of a number of the brokers that followers know properly. It’s additionally potential that Sydney might get in on some crossover motion as soon as NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i lastly come again following the top of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Followers should tune in to NCIS: Sydney on the 2023 TV schedule to see what occurs on this franchise’s new sequence and hope that acquainted faces will present up on Sydney in the end.
