Did CBS cancel NCIS: Sydney or renew it for Season 2?
No, CBS and Paramount + haven’t canceled NCIS: Sydney, rather, it’s renewed for a Season 2.
In March this year, CBS and Paramount Plus confirmed that the popular spin-off will get another installment, whose release date and plot details remain undisclosed. According to Forbes, the series garnered massive popularity since its premiere, amassing 5 million average views per week.

Our American viewers have fully embraced these engaging characters, unique stories, and the fabulous Australian scenery.

Why did NCIS: Sydney get renewed but NCIS: Hawai’i get canceled?
Despite its popularity, NCIS: Hawai’i was more expensive than NCIS: Sydney leading to its cancelation.
Earlier, the network’s intention with NCIS Hawai’i was to proceed but with a shortened season. Moreover, the producers were also ready for budget cuts and adjustments to keep the new season rolling. However, despite the efforts to keep it afloat, the financial burden proved too great, resulting in the show’s cancellation. (via Deadline)
