Alex Tarrant, known for his role as Agent Kai Holman in NCIS: Hawai’i, is wasting no time after the show’s unexpected cancellation by CBS. Just a week following the spin-off’s finale, Tarrant has already landed a new project: the upcoming mystery series, A Remarkable Place to Die.
Since its debut in 2021, NCIS: Hawai’i garnered a dedicated fan base enamored with its captivating scenery and intricate plotlines, including the dynamic relationship between characters Kate Whistler and Lucy Tara. However, despite the show’s popularity, CBS decided to pull the plug after its third season, leaving both cast and fans disheartened.
With NCIS: Hawai’i now a thing of the past, Tarrant has shifted his focus to his role in A Remarkable Place to Die. While details about his character, Ihaka, remain scarce, the series promises gripping storytelling centered around Detective Anais Mallory’s return to her hometown of Queenstown, New Zealand, where she confronts both professional challenges and personal demons.
Tarrant’s transition to this new project marks a fresh chapter in his career, offering audiences a chance to see him in a different light. Despite the abrupt end to NCIS: Hawai’i, Tarrant has remained relatively quiet about his feelings regarding the cancellation, instead opting to share a behind-the-scenes photo from the show’s set with a simple caption, “That’s a wrap.”
In contrast, some of Tarrant’s co-stars, like Vanessa Lachey, who portrayed Jane Tennant, have been more vocal about their sentiments, expressing gratitude for their time on the show while acknowledging the lack of closure. As the NCIS franchise continues its legacy on CBS, Tarrant’s new endeavor serves as a testament to his versatility as an actor and his readiness to embrace new opportunities.
