**NCIS Fans Reject ‘Origins’ Spin-Off, Demand Character-Driven Prequels Instead**
Following the controversial cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i after just three seasons, CBS faces backlash over its new prequel, NCIS: Origins. Fans express disinterest in the upcoming series, originally greenlit due to financial reasons post-Hawai’i’s axe.
Many fans took to platforms like Reddit to voice their discontent. One user lamented, “No interest in NCIS: Origins—NCIS: Hawai’i deserved better.” Another criticized CBS’s decision to cancel multiple shows, adding, “I’m over CBS at this point.”
Despite reservations, some fans suggested a potential twist: “Origins could redeem itself by exploring characters beyond Gibbs—Vance, Ducky, DiNozzo, even Shepard. That might win us over.” This idea gained traction among upvoters, hinting at a possible compromise for reluctant viewers.
As CBS prepares for the premiere, it faces an uphill battle to win over disenchanted NCIS enthusiasts.
