NCIS: Sydney has been shooting its two Top End episodes in Darwin, as part of the its upcoming second season.
Filming is supported by Screen Territory’s Production Attraction Incentive Program.
Director, Screen Territory, Jennie Hughes said, “Screen Territory has been a key supporter of NCIS: Sydney, working closely with the production to ensure that filming in the NT is a seamless and rewarding experience. The Territory’s diverse locations, skilled local crews, and strong government backing make it an ideal destination for filmmakers, with NCIS: Sydney being the latest in a growing list of high-quality productions choosing the NT.
“Hosting a globally recognised franchise like NCIS is a fantastic opportunity to show off all the Northern Territory has to offer – not only does it promote visitation to the NT by showcasing our incredible landscapes and culture on screen for millions to see, but it also provides valuable employment opportunities for locals and boosts the Territory’s economy.”
Head of Scripted, Endemol Shine Australia, Sara Richardson said, “Endemol Shine Australia is delighted to be filming in the Northern Territory, showcasing the beauty of Australia’s Top End to the rest of Australia and around the world. Working with local cast and crew, as well as the 100s of extras, is always incredibly rewarding, and the community of Darwin has both welcomed and supported us, which we are so grateful for.”
Paramount ANZ, Creative Advisor Drama, Rick Maier added, “There is nothing more representative of our diverse landscape than the incredible Northern Territory. We are both excited and proud to see NCIS: Sydney explore this vibrant region with the brilliant support of the NT Government. Hats off for helping us showcase your phenomenal back yard to the world.”
