Sad news for the NCIS: Hawai’i ohana: CBS’ island drama will not be returning for Season 4, TVLine has learned.
The cancellation comes two weeks after NCIS was renewed for Season 22 and over a month after NCIS: Sydney, the franchise’s first international spinoff, was renewed for Season 2. Currently, there’s no information on NCIS: Hawai’i being shopped elsewhere. Our Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard has been updated accordingly.
Season-to-date, NCIS: Hawai’i averaged 7.8 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating (with Live+7 playback data), up 4% in viewers vs. Season 2 but down slightly in the demo. Out of CBS’ 14 drama series this season, it ranked No. 6 in total audience and eighth in the demo.
Other CBS series canceled this spring include CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd.
In addition to NCIS and NCIS: Sydney, CBS previously renewed FBI (for Seasons 7, 8, and 9), FBI: International (Season 4), FBI: Most Wanted (Season 6), Fire Country (Season 3), Ghosts (Season 4), The Neighborhood (Season 7), The Equalizer (Season 5), Elsbeth (Season 2), and Tracker (Season 2). S.W.A.T. was “un-cancelled” and will return for an eighth season.
Young Sheldon and Bob Hearts Abishola are currently airing their farewell runs, while Blue Bloods is in the first half of its final season, concluding this fall.
CBS has one new NCIS spinoff, the “Young Gibbs” prequel NCIS: Origins, on its 2024-25 schedule, while a Tony/Ziva-centric offshoot is heading to Paramount+.
NCIS: Hawai’i will close out its strikes-shortened third (and final) season with a two-part finale airing Monday, April 29, and Monday, May 6. “There’s a lot of action,” Yasmine Al-Bustami, who plays Special Agent Lucy Tara, told TVLine. Oh, and: “There is death.”
