NCIS: Hawai’i Showrunners Break Silence on Show’s Surprise Cancellation

Showrunners Jan Nash, Christopher Silber, and Matt Bosack have expressed their surprise and disappointment at CBS’s decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai’i. Despite being one of the most beloved spin-offs in the NCIS universe, CBS justified the cancellation by citing scheduling and cost-cutting reasons. The cancellation has sparked controversy and backlash, with fans expressing their disappointment on social media and even starting an official petition to bring the show back.

In an interview with TV Line, Nash, Silber, and Bosack shared their candid reactions to the cancellation, months after it was announced. They confirmed that they were blindsided by CBS’s decision but acknowledged that it wasn’t a personal attack. The show, which featured Vanessa Lachey’s character Jane Tennant leading her team on the island, had only been on the air since 2021 but quickly became a fan favorite.

The controversy surrounding NCIS: Hawai’i‘s cancellation is partly due to its popularity. The show ranked as the 16th most-watched series during the 2023-2024 season. The cancellation has been met with criticism, especially given that it is being replaced by a new NCIS spin-off, NCIS: Origins, set in the 1990s.

Another point of contention is that NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 ended on a cliffhanger, with Jane reuniting with Maggie Shaw, setting up a storyline for season 4 that will now likely go unresolved. While Nash, Silber, and Bosack seem to have accepted the show’s abrupt ending, it’s clear the situation still stings. They haven’t revealed whether they are working on a new project or if they’ve had any private conversations with CBS since the cancellation. Nonetheless, the robust online movement to bring the show back underscores the strong fanbase and the impact NCIS: Hawai’i had during its run.
