In the wake of the cancellation news surrounding NCIS: Hawai’i, fans have been vocal in expressing their dissatisfaction with CBS’ decision to end the show abruptly. Adding fuel to the fire, it appears that the beloved series was replaced by another spinoff within the NCIS franchise.
NCIS: Hawai’i outperformed its counterpart in terms of viewership, yet it was replaced by NCIS: Sydney, despite the latter initially being destined for CBS’ streaming platform, Paramount+. The unexpected shift in CBS’ scheduling plans can be attributed to last year’s Hollywood strikes, which disrupted many network schedules.
The decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai’i while giving NCIS: Sydney another season has left fans bewildered and frustrated. Despite the clear preference for NCIS: Hawai’i among viewers, CBS seems to be following a trend of axing high-rated shows.
Fans have taken their outrage to social media and have even launched a petition urging CBS to reconsider its decision and bring back NCIS: Hawai’i. The show’s final episode left viewers on a cliffhanger, further intensifying their desire for closure.
While CBS still has the opportunity to salvage its reputation by addressing fans’ concerns and potentially integrating the canceled spinoff’s main character into the original show, the current situation has left many fans feeling determined to fight for their favorite series.
