How NCIS: Hawai’i Season 3’s Cliffhanger Can Be Resolved Without Season 4

NCIS: Hawai’i’s stunning cancellation left plot threads dangling, but the end of Season 3 can be resolved without needing a fourth season. The decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai’i was a big mistake, considering the show was a strong performer for CBS throughout its run. With increased viewership in its final season, many were puzzled by the lack of renewal for another installment.

TV shows are typically canceled due to dwindling interest and increased production costs, but this cancellation came as a huge surprise given the series’ solid numbers. The NCIS franchise is even set to expand with new shows like the NCIS: Tony & Ziva spin-off and NCIS: Origins. New shows wouldn’t be produced if there was a lack of interest in the franchise as a whole. The good news is that resolving the cliffhangers at the end of NCIS: Hawai’i shouldn’t be too difficult.
