The complete box set of NCIS: Hawai’i will be released later this year, featuring two new bonus specials as part of its home release. Following the show’s cancellation earlier this year, the three-season series will be available on DVD as a box set starting October 8.
Among the special features included are ‘Ruah’s Rules: Directing NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i’ and ‘NCIS: Hawai’i Season 3: The Third Wave’ (via Us Weekly). NCIS: Hawai’i: The Complete Series is currently available for pre-order on Amazon Canada, with US and UK pre-orders expected soon.
The show, which aired from 2021 until May of this year, focuses on agent Jane Tennant, portrayed by Vanessa Lachey, and her team based in Hawai’i. CBS Entertainment’s Amy Reisenbach revealed last month that the decision to cancel the show was a “really tough call.”
“I’m a big fan of TV first and I sympathize and relate to all the fans out there who are disappointed in the fact that these shows are ending. But at the end of the day, our job at CBS is to make those really tough calls,” Reisenbach told Variety. “We toss and turn and have sleepless nights and have endless discussions but we look at all the numbers. We look at what our projections are for the future, we look at where we see opportunities to potentially have even bigger success on the schedule. And we make those tough decisions.”
Following the series’ conclusion, Vanessa Lachey expressed her gratitude and pride in the show. “This show meant so much to me and to lots of people. As an AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islanders) woman, wife, mother, colleague, and friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV,” she said. “This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings. I encourage you ALL to as well!”
NCIS: Hawai’i aired on CBS in the US. NCIS airs on CBS in the US, and seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
