The sun-drenched shores of Australia take a dark turn this Friday on “NCIS: Sydney.” In “Mango Madness,” the team faces a case that’s as complicated as it is sweltering. A joint training exercise between US and Australian troops turns deadly when a U.S. Marine corporal is found dead. Now, amidst searing temperatures, the NCIS team must work quickly to determine if this was an accident, a tragic consequence of the harsh conditions, or something far more sinister.
Written by Steven McGregor and directed by Kriv Stenders, “Mango Madness” takes the crime procedural format to an international setting, blending the familiar rhythms of investigation with the unique backdrop of Australia. As the team delves into the case, expect tensions to rise between the U.S. and Australian personnel. Catch “NCIS: Sydney” this Friday, April 18 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
