The move is happening because CBS will air a soon-to-be-announced special on Jan. 31.
Fire Country and S.W.A.T. will air original episodes on Jan. 31, as planned.
In the postponed episode, titled “Heart Starter,” a rogue assassin is on the run, and the NCIS/AFP team will do whatever it takes to crack the case, “even if that means waking the dead….” As the end of the Season 1 finale teased, the drama’s sophomore run will find Mackey and JD’s team investigating a looming, destructive chaos that threatens the stability of the region.
The NCIS: Sydney team was formed in the series’ November 2023 premiere, when a seaman on a U.S. sub parked in Sydney Harbour collapsed and tumbled into the water, dead. The specific circumstances of the mysterious death led to a jurisdictional battle between arriving NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey (played by Legends of Tomorrow vet Olivia Swann) and Australian Federal Police Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey (played by Spartacus: War of the Damned‘s Todd Lasance).
