“NCIS: Hawai’i Star Vanessa Lachey Speaks Out After Series Finale”
Vanessa Lachey, known for her role as Special Agent Jane Tennant on NCIS: Hawai’i, has broken her silence following the show’s final episode. The NCIS spin-off concluded its three-season run after CBS announced its sudden cancellation due to moderate viewership numbers.
Reflecting on her time on the show and bidding farewell to her character, Vanessa shared an emotional statement on social media. Posting on Instagram alongside a photo of her character in an aircraft hangar, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to portray Jane Tennant. As an Asian American and Pacific Islander woman, wife, mother, colleague, and friend, Vanessa emphasized the significance of her role and the impact it had on viewers.
The finale left fans on a major cliffhanger, with Jane Tennant returning home to discover her daughter missing. The scene ended ominously with a warning from returning guest star Maggie Shaw, played by Julie White, leaving both Jane and fans in suspense about the future of the series.
Vanessa had previously expressed feeling “blindsided” by the decision to cancel the show, sharing her sentiments on Instagram. Despite the uncertainty, NCIS: Hawai’i has left a lasting legacy and continues to resonate with audiences.
Originally airing on CBS in the US and streaming on Disney+ in the UK, NCIS: Hawai’i may have concluded its run, but its impact lives on through its dedicated fans and memorable characters.
