In just a week, the long-running NCIS franchise is expanding into international waters. NCIS: Sydney is heading to CBS this month, which is a prospect that's sure to excite fans. Headed by Olivia Swann and Todd Lasance, the series will see a team of U.S. NCIS Agents forming a task force with the Australian Federal Police as they investigate naval crimes in the titular city. Of course, a fresh crop of characters had to be developed for the procedural, and its showrunner just spoke about crafting a forensic scientist that doesn't feel too similar to Pauley Perrette’s Abby Sciuto.
