Season 3 is set to film following a traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony.

NCIS: Hawai’i is all set to begin production again and will seek traditional blessings before the series commences filming, just like it did for the previous two seasons. The series will also bring back LL Cool J, reprising his role as Sam Hanna in NCIS: Los Angeles, after the series ended its 14-season-long run earlier this year, according to Deadline. LL Cool J made a cameo appearance in the Season 2 finale back in May, setting the tone for his arrival in the spin-off in the upcoming season. The news comes ahead of the NCIS: Hawai’i’s Season 3 premiere which is set for February 12, next year.

NCIS: Hawai’i is the latest location-based spin-off from the NCIS universe. It premiered back in 2021 and became an instant fan favorite and a standout on CBS. The Hawai’i-based series follows Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant, the first female Special Agent in Charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor, and her team of Naval Crime Investigative Services members as they solve crimes, protect national security, and balance their duty to their families and the country. The second season of NCIS Hawai’i opened with a crossover that saw Jane joining other members of the mothership NCIS crew to stop a sinister plot by The Raven, who seeks to disrupt crucial global military exercises. While the Season 2 ratings were no match for the premiere season, it made a worthy entry to the series, earning the upcoming third season.
