- Fans left reeling over NCIS: Hawai’i cancelation, hope for renewal despite logistical challenges and unresolved cliffhanger.
- CBS’s decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai’i attributed to cost, ratings, and programming objectives, but new spinoff titled NCIS: Tony & Ziva announced.
NCIS: Hawai’i star Jason Antoon couldn’t resist a jab at the CBS network’s decision to cancel the show. Debuting in 2021, the spinoff brought the NCIS franchise to new heights, anchored by Vanessa Lachey’s portrayal of Special Agent Jane Tennant. Despite doing well within the crime procedural niche, the series faced an unexpected halt in its journey, leaving fans perplexed and its stars disheartened.
Recently, Antoon, who portrayed cyber intelligence analyst Ernie Malik, took to social media (X) to mock the cancelation, citing CBS’ own viewership data as evidence of the show’s merit. His posts, shared across platforms, show the series’ climb in rankings throughout its tenure, from its overall viewership standing to its finale’s remarkable lift in ratings.
NCIS: Hawai’i cancelation has left the question about the possibility of CBS reversing its decision. The abrupt end to the Lachey-led series, coming hot on the heels of the closure of NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans, left fans reeling, particularly given the unresolved cliffhanger that capped off its final season.
