The NCIS: Hawai’i team is returning to solve plenty more cases.
Just like law enforcement officers having partners, the flagship NCIS series has one too in the form of NCIS: Hawai’i. That partnership is set to continue, as NCIS season 21 and NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 are returning to CBS
The fourth NCIS franchise to premiere, NCIS: Hawai’i is now the established spinoff, especially compared to NCIS: Syndey, which joined the franchise in fall 2023, and the upcoming NCIS: Origins, a prequel series expected in the 2024-2025 TV season.
Here is everything that we know about NCIS: Hawai’i season 3.

NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 plot
With NCIS: Hawai’i being a procedural, episodes don’t often have a lot of connective tissue, often going with a case-of-the-week format, though there are occasional overarching plotlines that occur during the season. We don’t have any indication of what those may be as of yet, but the NCIS: Hawai’i season 2 finale did tease one intriguing element.
LL Cool J’s NCIS: Los Angeles character Sam Hanna made a surprise cameo, which is reportedly going to set him up to appear again from time to time in NCIS: Hawai’i season 3.
Beyond that, here is the basic plot of NCIS: Hawai’i for reference:
“Jane Tennant is the first female Special Agent in Charge of NCIS Pearl Harbor. She and her team balance duty to family and country, investigating high-stakes crimes involving military personnel, national security and the mysteries of the island itself. This NCIS: Hawai’i team is a skilled mix of mainland transplants who’ve relocated to the tranquility of the Pacific and wizened locals who know their mahalo from kapu.”
NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 cast
The NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 cast remains mostly the same, with Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant, Tori Anderson as Kate Whistler, Alex Tarrant as Kai Holman, Noah Mills as Jesse Boone, Yasmine Al-Bustami as Lucy Tara and Jason Antoon as Ernie Malik all back for another go around.
As mentioned above, NCIS: Los Angeles veteran LL Cool J’s Sam Hanna is going to show up from time to time, as the actor is going to be a recurring guest star for season 3, including in the season 3 premiere.
