NCIS & NCIS: Hawai’i Post-Strike Updates Revealed! New Seasons & Shocking Reactions Unveiled!
With the resolution of the WGA and SAG AF strikes, the television industry is making a comeback, and CBS is gearing up for the new seasons of its shows, including NCIS and NCIS: Hawaii. Fans can now anticipate the premiere dates for these series, marking the return of the main NCIS series and its spin-off. On February 12, 2024, NCIS: Hawaii’s third season and NCIS’s 21st season will debut, airing at 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., respectively.
The official NCIS verse Instagram page shared the exciting news, initiating a countdown with the hashtags #NCISSeason21 and #NCISHawaiiSeason3. Fans expressed their enthusiasm in the comments, eagerly anticipating the return of these beloved shows.
While the writer strike had initially raised concerns about delays, the conclusion of the strike in September provided showrunners with additional time to write. The announcement has been a relief for fans, as early reports had hinted at potential delays until September 2024.
The upcoming season of NCIS will be notable for being the first without the late David McCallum, who portrayed Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard. McCallum passed away on September 25 at the age of 90. The new season is expected to give his character a fitting farewell, although specific details have not been revealed.
Fans are also speculating about the possible return of former favorites, including Mark Harmon, Pauley Perrette, Michael Weatherly, and others. The franchise’s first international spin-off, NCIS: Sydney, premiered on November 10 in Australia and November 14 in the US on Paramount Plus Global. With an ensemble cast led by Olivia O’Kane and T Lans, the NCIS TV universe continues to expand.
As the WGA and SAG AF strikes move into the rearview, fans can eagerly anticipate the return of NCIS and NCIS: Hawaii, both promising to deliver engaging storylines and the beloved characters that have made them fan favorites.
