CBS has announced the conclusion of production for NCIS: Hawaii after three seasons, marking a significant transition as the network prepares to introduce new series into its upcoming schedule.
The farewell to NCIS: Hawaii, starring Vanessa Lachey and recently joined by LL Cool J, signals the end of a beloved series that, despite strong viewership, occupied a mid-tier position in the CBS lineup. The final episode is slated to air on May 6th.
Following the news, Vanessa Lachey shared her mixed emotions on social media, expressing feelings of being gutted, confused, and blindsided, while also conveying gratitude and confidence to the beloved fans. Additionally, executive producers acknowledged the difficulty of the decision but emphasized its necessity in the business landscape, thanking fans for their unwavering support.
Looking ahead, CBS plans to explore the origins of the NCIS universe with the upcoming series ‘NCIS: Origins.’ This new venture will delve into earlier narratives, focusing on younger iterations of well-known characters. Notably, Austin Stowell is set to portray a youthful Leroy Jethro Gibbs in this anticipated series.
