The cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i has caused a significant stir among fans, leading to widespread backlash against CBS. The network’s decision to cut the show, which debuted in 2021 as the youngest Stateside spin-off of the NCIS franchise, has left many viewers puzzled, especially given its strong fan base and positive reception. While CBS also canceled So Help Me Todd and CSI: Las Vegas, the outrage over NCIS: Hawai’i has been far more intense.
Though I’m new to the NCIS: Hawai’i fandom, it’s clear the series had built a loyal following in its relatively short run. Fans have been particularly vocal about their disappointment, emphasizing how much the show meant to them. Many are questioning CBS’s rationale, especially as the network continues to develop new series within the franchise. The frustration is palpable, highlighting the strong connection between the audience and the series, which makes its cancellation all the more bewildering.
