Vanessa Lachey is still coming to terms with the cancellation of her CBS show, “NCIS: Hawai’i.” The actor, who stars as special agent Jane Tennant, shared her feelings on Instagram on Saturday.
“Gutted, confused, blindsided,” she wrote in a text overlay on her Instagram Story. “Processing this news and still being present with my family. I love you all!” She concluded her message with gratitude to fans, using the Hawaiian phrase “Mahalo Nui Loa.”
CBS decided to cancel “NCIS: Hawai’i” after three seasons, Deadline reported this week, just before the Season 3 finale set to air on May 6. A representative for CBS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lachey, the first female lead of an “NCIS” franchise, had recently celebrated her groundbreaking role in an Instagram post. “Mahalo to CBS & Paramount for believing in me and this groundbreaking show,” she wrote. “Here’s to all the incredible people along the way who continue to make it happen! I love my job!!!”
Last week, CBS announced that the “NCIS” universe had reached a milestone of 1,000 combined episodes.
