I have some news for all the fans of the television series ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ – unfortunately, CBS has decided to cancel the show after three seasons. This news comes as a surprise to many, considering the popularity of the show.
‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ was the last scripted series on CBS that was still uncertain about its fate for the upcoming season. It is a drama series that follows the investigations of a fictional naval criminal investigative team stationed in Hawaii. The show stars talented actors Vanessa Lachey and LL Cool J, who joined the cast in the most recent season.
Although ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ has been performing well in terms of viewership, with an average of 7.8 million viewers in the Nielsen ratings this season, it seems that it didn’t meet CBS’s expectations. The show did, however, manage to accumulate over 10 million viewers when accounting for cross-platform viewing within 35 days.
Despite its cancellation, the ‘NCIS’ franchise is not coming to an end. CBS has announced plans to introduce a new spinoff in the 2024-25 season, titled ‘Origins,’ which will serve as a prequel to the original ‘NCIS’ series. This new show will follow a younger version of Leroy Jethro Gibbs, played by Austin Stowell. Fans can also look forward to the return of the flagship series, ‘NCIS,’ and its spinoff, ‘NCIS: Sydney.’
It’s worth mentioning that ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ had a relatively short run compared to other shows in the franchise, with only three seasons and 54 episodes. However, it will go down in history as the third series set in Hawaii, following the success of ‘Hawaii Five-0’ and ‘Magnum P.I.’
With ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ discontinued, CBS will not be filming a show in Hawaii for the first time since 2010. The series provided stunning visuals of the Aloha State and showcased its unique culture.
While it’s disappointing to see ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ come to an end, fans can still enjoy the other installments in the ‘NCIS’ universe and look forward to the upcoming prequel series. So, for now, let’s bid farewell to ‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ and cherish the memories it has brought us.
