Fans Rally to Save NCIS: Hawai’i After Surprise Cancellation
Following CBS’s unexpected cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i, dedicated fans have mobilized a passionate campaign to urge the network to reconsider. A petition on Change.org is gaining momentum, with over 27,000 signatures toward its 35,000 goal, as supporters rally to bring the show back.
The petition emphasizes NCIS: Hawai’i’s profound impact, highlighting its role as more than just a show—it has become a beacon of representation and empowerment for many. Known for its strong portrayal of women, especially through lead character Jane Tennant, played by Vanessa Lachey, the series has connected with audiences through its diverse cast and powerful storytelling.
Beyond the petition, fans are calling attention to the sense of community NCIS: Hawai’i has fostered, spanning generations and backgrounds. News of the cancellation shocked both viewers and cast members, including Lachey, especially given the show’s high ratings and widespread support.
The series’ final episode, which aired on May 6, ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger, leaving fans yearning for more. Despite CBS’s current stance, fans are undeterred, amplifying their efforts with social media campaigns and even a Times Square billboard to spread their message.
While CBS President Amy Reisenbach has cited scheduling and financial challenges, fans continue to make their case, asserting that NCIS: Hawai’i is more than a television show. For them, it’s a meaningful part of their lives that deserves either a heartfelt farewell or, ideally, a chance to keep its legacy alive.
