CBS Boss Addresses Cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i
The cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i after three seasons has been addressed by Amy Reisenbach, a senior executive at CBS Entertainment. The spin-off series, which followed Special Agent Jane Tennant (played by Vanessa Lachey), was cancelled earlier this year.

She shared a heartfelt tribute to her character, highlighting the significance of representing an Asian American and Pacific Islander woman on TV. Lachey encouraged fans to continue pushing boundaries and breaking glass ceilings, stating that anything they dream is within their reach.
