NCIS: Hawaii now has its lead — Vanessa Lachey will lead the CBS series. Yasmine Al-Bustami and Jason Antoon have also been cast in the new show which will debut during the 2021-22 broadcast season.
Deadline revealed more about Lachey’s role on the CBS series:
“Lachey’s Jane Tennant is as diplomatic as she is hard-charging. A woman in a male-dominated profession, she’s thrived in a system that’s pushed back every step of the way through equal parts confidence and strategy. But Tennant is more than just a job and a title. She’s a mother raising her kids mostly on her own. Like any parent who loves their career and their family – she’s a master juggler – balancing the duty to both her children and her country.”
Al-Bustami and Antoon will both play members of her team. This is the first time a woman has been the head of the NCIS: Hawaii office.
A premiere date has not yet been set for the series.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the NCIS franchise on CBS? Do you plan to watch NCIS: Hawaii once it arrives?
I not going watch any ncis spinoff they all suck only ncis I like is frist ncis that been on for 18 season.cbs chief want use ego power and control and covid to ruin other shows use fake bullying like he did to mcguyver tv show trying ruin clearice to.
She would have made a great team member but I don’t know about leading it all. They had Katrina Law on Hawaii 5-0 and are moving her to NCIS. They could have left her in Hawaii as the lead. Of course I’ll watch it because we watch the NCIS shows.
I know when I found out who they have cast so far it was very disappointing. I don’t know if I will even watch it. I would rather them keep NCIS: New Orleans on.
What a let down! What happened to Michael Weatherly and the others they hyped up? I’ll watch the pilot and see how I like it. I guess it’s my age but I’ve never heard of any of the cast!
No thanks. I only enjoyed watching NCIS: New Orleans. I never could stand NCIS: Los Angeles and one Michael Weatherly left the original is totally unwatchable. Can’t stand the cast of either of the remaining shows and am not interested in another show that’s exactly the same.
Why is a non Hawaiian the lead actor? Was nothing learned with Jack Lord and Alex O’Loughin? I find it difficult to believe that native Hawaiian actors could not be found to play lead roles.
I agree. Why not Tia C., D. Dae kim, gracie park and leave the rest to you. I loved the repore between Daniel and gracie. Unhappy you fired them!
Bring back NCIS:New Orleans
Keep Gibbs on NCIS
Not interested in NCIS:Hawaii
Not happy about losing NCIS:New Orleans.
Me too!!
Lousy cast so far!
No Thanks same crap over and over..and Lachey can’t act to save her life! She’s not even a star!
Yes I plan on watching the new NCIS Hawaii. Very excited to see a woman at the helm and to see what storyline they will have. If they follow the other NCIS’ they will have a hit on their hands.
I like Vanessa Lachey can’t wait to see what kind of story lines come. As far as the ncis franchise l’m really disappointed in the writing for all 3!! Ncis no was terrible flag is going off!! LA isn’t much better. Also the story lines of the original one, maybe it is time to go. Made mcgee into a major wimp!!!
I will definitely be watching. I have been watching all the NCIS shows from the start.
I’ll give it one look. Doesn’t seem like it will be on my list of shows though.
Will mill NCIS NOLA. Bring it back
I can’t wait for new spin off series. I like any series with a good storyline. All the NCIS series have that so far I am excited for it to start.!!!
