The second season ofNCIS: Sydneycame to a somewhat satisfying end last weekend, leaving fans curious about the next phase for the fan-favorite special agents. Fortunately, that won’t be the final chapter of theNCISspin-off as it wasrenewed for another runearlier in February. With the latest season already concluded and Season 3 in development, creator and showrunnerMorgan O’Neillrecentlysat down withTVLine, gearing viewers up for what’s ahead in the “bigger” installment that features a surprising time jump.

TheNCIS: SydneySeason 2 finale aired on Friday, April 25, finally revealing who’s been behind everything all this time, including the unsuspicious person responsible for putting that pacemaker Rankin (Lewis Fitz-Gerald) didn’t need in him. Fans would agree that the season is even more intense than its prequel chapter, and to maintain such consistency, Season 3 will be more exciting, as O’Neill teased:

“Anything I say is going to be a little bit too leading, but I promise you, from all the way down here, Season 3 is going to be way bigger than Season 2.”

That’s not all! The show’s creator mentioned that compared toNCIS: SydneySeason 2, the next season will pick up a little further in the future, but not too far. He shared: “It’s later on, but not very much later on. It’s certainly not a continuous pickup like it was for Season 2.” This is no doubt unexpected, especially for fans eager to know what will happen in Blue’s (Mavournee Hazel) apartment after Season 2 ended with her discovering a mysterious woman waiting for her there.

Evie & DeShawn’s Relationship Will Be Tested in ‘NCIS: Sydney’ Season 3

Besides the expected drama and action ahead in Season 3 of thisAustralianNCISseries, there may also be some sort of romance, but not in the way fans anticipate, especially for those shipping DeShawn (Sean Sagar) and Evie (Tuuli Narkle). When asked if there’s the possibility of something romantic happening between the two or with others, O’Neill failed to give a direct answer but teased a new character coming to test their relationship.

“Here’s the thing: When two people really vibe with each other, as Evie and DeShawn clearly do, the one thing that will almost certainly cause something to flare up is to insert, let’s say, a third person into that dynamic, and see what happens as a result. So, without giving too much away,that relationship between Evie and DeShawn will be tested by the arrival of another character in Season 3who will really set the cat amongst the pigeons.”
