NCIS: Hawai’i will release two bonus specials despite cancelation
The spinoff is still a beloved part of the NCIS franchise.
Fans are going to be reeling from the NCIS: Hawai’i for a while. The show was seemingly thriving as an alternative to the flagship procedural, with a unique cast and a setting that allowed for the exploration of different crimes. The show even picked up NCIS: Los Angeles star LL Cool J along the way.
Unfortunately, these virtues did not keep CBS from pulling the plug. NCIS: Hawai’i was the first show in NCIS history be canceled after only three seasons, making it, in One Chicago terms, the Chicago Justice of the franchise. But we’re not here to dwell on the negatives. Let’s focus on the positives, like CBS releasing two new specials in conjunction with the canceled show.

It’s a minor condolence prize in the grand scheme of things, but it’s something! It’ll be exciting to see what the cast and crew has to say about the show’s legacy, and what made NCIS: Hawai’i such a fun addition to the overall franchise.
Vanessa Lachey, the star of the show, reflected on these topics after the final episode aired on CBS. “This show meant so much to me,” she wrote on Instagram. “More every day I find, to lots of people. As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV.”
