CBS reversed its unpopular decision to cancel “S.W.A.T.,” but the network hasn’t done the same for other cr1me dramas. CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach confirmed that “NCIS: Hawai’i” won’t return, as the company prioritizes fresh programming.
Despite good ratings of over 5 million viewers most weeks during its three-season run, “NCIS: Hawai’i” was canceled in order to focus on new projects and relocate financial resources. This choice perplexed some supporters.
While “NCIS: Hawai’i” is gone, the franchise remains strong, with plans for expansion. However, one forthcoming “NCIS” series has already attracted fan backlash, linked to CBS’ polarizing cancellation decisions.
NCIS: Hawai’i’s Discontinuation Is A Controversial Topic
The discontinuation of “NCIS: Hawai’i” has sparked controversy among fans. Many fans have been hoping for Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ comeback since Mark Harmon left the series. “NCIS: Origin,” a prequel set in Gibbs’ younger days with Harmon narrating, was meant to be a fan favorite. However, not everyone is pleased.
The cancellation of “NCIS: Hawai’i” has led some viewers to boycott the “Young Gibbs” series, believing it was cut to make way for “NCIS: Origin,” which seems designed to capitalize on Gibbs’ popularity. These fans expect the new show to be less diverse and interesting than “NCIS: Hawai’i” and are not interested in watching it.
There is optimism that characters from “NCIS: Hawai’i” will appear in future shows, but for the time being, many fans simply want the show to continue in its current format and hope CBS gives it the “S.W.A.T.” treatment.
