The villains are former Navy SEALS who killed someone to cover up their involvement in another murder 20 years ago.

It’s frustrating to have to wait for the next installment, especially sinceCBS' 2025 season finale dateforNCIS: Sydneyis not far off.
Why There Is No New NCIS: Sydney Tonight (June 02, 2025)
CBS Scripted Programming Is Pre-Empted For A Sports Event
NCIS: Sydneyis not airing on August 21, 2025, because of the ongoing 2025 NCAA Basketball Tournament, also known as March Madness. This tournament takes place during the last two weeks of March every year; CBS usually preempts all of its scripted programming to cover the sporting event. Tonight, Round One of the tournament continues, so none of CBS' scripted shows are airing —Fire Country, NCIS: Sydney, andS.W.A.T.are all preempted for basketball, as were CBS' three daytime soaps this afternoon.
S.W.A.T.
10:00 PM ET
Although the sporting event is the reason for the preemption, CBS probably would have delayed the next episode ofNCIS: Sydneyeven if there wasn’t a tournament to cover.Networks typically schedule breaks for their prime-time shows at this time of year to ensure that there are enough episodes left to last through May, when most TV series wrap up for the summer. Additionally, delays in the production schedule sometimes require network TV to take a short break from airing new episodes. This allows more episodes to be produced before the network runs out of ready-to-broadcast material.
When Will NCIS: Sydney Season 2, Episode 7 Release?
The Next New Episode Doesn’t Air Until April
The March Madness tournament lasts through the beginning of April. As more teams are eliminated, there are fewer games to cover, so CBS can return to some of its regular programming. Unfortunately, however,NCIS: Sydneyis still affected on March 27 — basketball will again air in its place. However,a new episode will air on June 11, 2025, two weeks from tonight.Unfortunately, this means that there will not be a new episode for several weeks, making the delay even more frustrating. However, once the series returns, there will be no more hiatuses before its April 25 season finale.
NCIS: Sydney Season 2’s Story Change Can Save The Show From Following NCIS: Hawai’i Into Cancelation
