Urban Magazine’s 2026 is off to a spectacular start, landing NCIS: Sydney’s beautiful Olivia Swann on the cover of our January issue.
Beyond her role as supervisory special agent Michelle Mackey, who leads a US task force working with the Australian Federal Police, the English actress is also known for her appearances in “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” and the 2023 reimagining of the 1994 thriller “River Wild.”
“I have been a long-time fan of the Olivia Swann-led NCIS spinoff, so when the opportunity arose to feature her, we had to put her on the cover,” explains Urban Magazine’s publisher, Be’n Original. “This is a great way to start our 2026 run.”
Other features include R&B/soul singer and songwriter Ayanna Irish, marketing extraordinaire Aria F. Wright, and public relations expert Audra Bolton-Ortiz.
Coverage of Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globe win, the magazine’s poetry section, a preview of Starz’s upcoming series The Nowhere Man, and the monthly buyers’ guide round out the 2026 launch.
