NCIS: Hawai’i has been cancelled after three seasons, with CBS confirming that it won’t return.

As per Deadline, the show will conclude next month (May 6) following the final episode of its third season, which originally wasn’t meant to be its conclusion.

This means fans will likely be left with a cliffhanger and some unresolved conflicts, with its cancellation reportedly due to moderate viewing figures.

The show followed Special Agent Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and her team at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, representing the first time that an NCIS show was fronted by a female lead.

“It's an honour to be able to add to this incredible franchise and to do it as the first female lead has meant more to me than I can ever express. It shows the incredible evolution and longevity that NCIS continues to give its fans,” Lachey said only a few weeks ago.

“Not only with our cast but the fans as well. The NCIS franchise is all over the world and it brings people together to watch and talk about, as well as provide comfort and entertainment, which is what you want when you dive into a show.”

While Hawai’i might be cancelled, there is still plenty of NCIS content on the way, with Brian Dietzen recently teasing that the season finale of the original show will be special, saying: “As per usual with NCIS, it's gonna leave a lot of people with their mouths wide open after the credits start to roll,” he said.

“I think everyone's pretty damn proud of what we put together. There's plenty in store there. It's only a 10-episode season, right? It just kind of feels like each of our writers kind of only gets one at-bat, and they're really swinging for the fences, and they are not disappointing.”

NCIS airs on CBS in the US. Seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
