CBS Faces Backlash for Using Images from Canceled NCIS: Hawai’i in Summer Promo
CBS is drawing criticism from fans for its latest summer promotional post, which features several images from the canceled *NCIS: Hawai’i* spinoff. Despite being the youngest US-based offshoot of the famed procedural franchise, premiering in 2021, *NCIS: Hawai’i* quickly built a solid viewership and gained notoriety. However, CBS unexpectedly canceled the series after just three seasons, leaving fans disappointed and advocating for its revival.
Adding to the controversy, a new Instagram post from the official NCIS account includes images from *NCIS: Hawai’i* to celebrate the summer season. The post features a carousel of seven photos from various shows in the NCIS franchise, with three images from the canceled spinoff. Fans have expressed their displeasure in the comments, criticizing CBS for using these images despite the show’s cancellation and highlighting the ongoing movement to bring back the beloved series.
