He teased: “Deeks loves surfing and Oz has great waves……”
So, could his character be set to make a return? Or is that just wishful thinking for viewers?
Ultimately, Deek’s story came to a happy end as he and his partner Kensi (Daniela Ruah) found out that they were hav ing a baby.
Whether or not any of the characters from NCIS, NCIS: Hawaii or NCIS: New Orleans will appear Down Under is still to be seen. But in the trailer fans have gotten a sneak peek of some of the upcoming scenes, as well as the new team.
The cast of NCIS: Sydney includes co-leads; NCIS special agent Michelle Mackey (Olivia Swann) and Sergeant Jim ‘JD’ Dempsey (Todd Lasance).

CBS’ Entertainment president, Amy Reisenbach, revealed: “NCIS is one of the most popular series in the world and we’re thrilled to expand this franchise with a uniquely Australian twist.”
She continued: “”Featuring the stunning backdrop of Australia, the new series will incorporate the high-stakes intrigue, humour and camaraderie that have kept fans captivated by the NCIS teams for over two decades.” CBS have teased that NCIS: Sydney will see a “brilliant and eclectic team of US NCIS agents” join the Australian Federal Police “to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet.”
