Very, very sad news for the NCIS: Hawai’i ohana: CBS‘ island drama will not be returning for Season 4, TVLine has learned.
The cancellation news comes two weeks after NCIS scored a Season 22 pick-up and more than a month after NCIS: Sydney — the well-watched franchise’s first international offshoot — scored a Season 2.
TVLine hears that at this time, there’s no information regarding NCIS: Hawai’i being shopped elsewhere. Our Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard has thusly been updated.
Season-to-date, NCIS: Hawai’i is averaging 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 a tick in the demo. Out of the 14 drama series that CBS has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 6 in total audience (behind Tracker, NCIS, FBI, Blue Bloods and The Equalizer) and eighth in the demo.
Other CBS series that got the hook this spring are 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). It also “un-cancelled” S.W.A.T., by announcing the cop drama would be back for an eighth season.
Young Sheldon and Bob Hearts Abishola are currently unspooling their farewell runs, while Blue Bloods is airing the first half of a final season that will conclude in the fall.
CBS has one new NCIS spinoff, the “Young Gibbs” prequel NCIS: Origins, claiming a spot on its 2024-25 schedule, while a Tony/Ziva-centric offshoot is bound for 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, previously told TVLine. Oh, and: “There is death.”
