CBS disappoints fans by canceling “NCIS Hawai’i Season 4” after its third season. Despite decent viewership, the decision reflects network priorities and raises questions about the future of the NCIS franchise.
CBS has delivered a disappointing blow to fans of NCIS: Hawai’i by announcing the cancellation of the island drama after its third season. This news comes on the heels of NCIS securing a renewal for its impressive 22nd season and NCIS: Sydney, the franchise’s first international offshoot, receiving the green light for a second season. Despite its decent performance in terms of viewership, averaging 7.8 million total viewers and maintaining a 0.5 demo rating, NCIS: Hawai’i failed to secure another season.

The decision not to renew NCIS:
Hawai’i leaves many questions unanswered, especially considering its relatively strong performance compared to other CBS drama series. Out of the 14 drama series aired by CBS this TV season, NCIS: Hawai’i ranks sixth in total audience but falls to eighth place in the demo rating. This discrepancy in ratings might have played a role in the network’s decision to pull the plug on the series.
While the cancellation of NCIS Hawai’i Season 4:
Hawai’i is undoubtedly disappointing for fans; CBS’s decision-making process regarding its lineup is complex and multifaceted. The network has a roster of successful drama series, including Tracker, NCIS, FBI, Blue Bloods, and The Equalizer, which continue to perform well in terms of both viewership and critical acclaim. Additionally, CBS has made strategic decisions to renew some series while “un-cancelling” others, such as S.W.A.T., which will return for an eighth season.
NCIS: Hawai’i’s cancellation also raises questions about the future direction of the NCIS franchise. With NCIS: Sydney receiving a renewal, CBS appears committed to expanding the franchise internationally. However, the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i suggests that not all spin-offs are guaranteed success, and the network may need to reevaluate its approach to future expansions.
Despite the cancellation, NCIS:
Hawai’i will have the opportunity to conclude its story with a two-part finale airing in late April and early May. This finale promises plenty of action and drama, with Special Agent Lucy Tara, portrayed by Yasmine Al-Bustami, hinting at significant developments, including character deaths. For fans invested in the series, these final episodes will offer closure and resolution to ongoing storylines.
Looking ahead, CBS has already set its sights on new projects, including a “Young Gibbs” prequel titled NCIS: Origins, which has secured a spot on the network’s 2024-25 schedule. Additionally, a Tony/Ziva-centric offshoot is in the works for Paramount+. These new ventures indicate that while NCIS: Hawai’i may be coming to an end, the NCIS franchise as a whole remains a priority for CBS as it continues to explore new avenues for expansion and storytelling.
