Vanessa Lachey OF NCIS: HAWAI’I ON CBS/PARAMOUNT+ Q: Will the season-ending cliffhanger that involved Vanessa Lachey’s character on “NCIS: Hawai’i” ever be resolved? A: Apparently not, unless the now-canceled CBS show’s producers reveal (if they even thought that far ahead) what was planned via other avenues. The Season 3 conclusion was filmed before the network made its decision not to renew the series, so what you saw was what you got … not only in the case of that episode, but for the show as a whole. Lachey was quite emotional in discussing the end of the program in social-media posts she made, saying that she was “gutted, confused (and) blindsided” by the cancellation notice, which denied the show’s cast and crew (who worked on location in the islands making the series) the opportunity for an official goodbye party. Much attention had been paid to the fact that Lachey’s Jane Tennant was the first female leader of an NCIS team in the franchise, and the actress stated, “This show has meant so much to me.” While “NCIS: Hawai’i” also ran on Paramount+, and some CBS shows have moved to that streaming service to finish out their runs (“SEAL Team” and “Evil” being among examples), the high price tag of the location filming in this case likely was too prohibitive. There still will be another “NCIS” drama besides the parent series on CBS in the forthcoming season: the new “NCIS: Origins,” which will focus on the younger years of the Leroy Jethro Gibbs character. Original portrayer Mark Harmon (also an executive producer) will narrate the show, but the central role will be played by Austin Stowell. Paramount+ also has “NCIS: Tony & Ziva” coming, reuniting stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo.
