CBS has officially announced the cancellation of ‘NCIS: Hawaii’ after a three-season run. The decision to not renew the drama marks the end of its stint as the last scripted series still in decision limbo at CBS for the upcoming season. The series finale is scheduled to air on May 6th.
Details of the Cancellation
‘NCIS: Hawaii,’ starring Vanessa Lachey, and featuring LL Cool J (a newcomer this season from ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’), is set to end its journey with a relatively impressive viewership statistic. The show averaged about 7.8 million viewers per episode according to Nielsen’s seven-day linear ratings and expanded to an audience of 10 million over 35 days across various platforms. Despite these strong numbers, which would typically guarantee a renewal on many networks, it was only middling in performance compared to other CBS shows.
Implications and Future of NCIS Franchise
This cancellation brings ‘NCIS: Hawaii’ to a close with the shortest run in the NCIS franchise history, at just 54 episodes over three seasons. CBS, however, is not stepping back from the NCIS universe. It plans to introduce ‘NCIS: Origins’ in the 2024-25 season, a prequel focusing on a younger version of the iconic character Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Additionally, CBS continues to support the franchise with ‘NCIS: Sydney’ and developments in the NCIS-verse on Paramount+, including a new series featuring Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly reprising their roles from the original series.
Conclusion
The ending of ‘NCIS: Hawaii’ signifies a significant shift for CBS as it reevaluates its lineup and introduces fresh content. It also marks the end of continuous filming in Hawaii by CBS since 2010, following shows like ‘Hawaii Five-0’ and ‘Magnum P.I.’ The network has now finalized its decisions across all scripted series, setting the stage for its next phase of programming.
