After an unexpected midseason hiatus, NCIS: Sydney has finally confirmed when Season 3 will resume. The CBS and Paramount+ drama will return in the U.S. on March 3, 2026, alongside NCIS and NCIS: Origins, following a schedule shift caused by the State of the Union address. Australian viewers, however, will see new episodes earlier, beginning February 17, 2026, via Paramount+.
Season 3 was paused after eight episodes, with Episode 9, titled “South of Nowhere,” originally set to air in December before being pulled in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting. The episode sends the team beyond Australia for the first time, stranding them at an Antarctic research base during a murder investigation.
The expanded 20-episode season raises the stakes with global threats, internal betrayals, and mounting danger for Michelle Mackey, who discovers she’s on a hit list. With bigger ambitions and darker twists, NCIS: Sydney is gearing up for its most intense chapter yet.
