CBS has finally made its decision on the future of NCIS: Hawai’i on the network, and it’s not good news. The series has been canceled, making it the only one of the three current NCIS shows that was not given a renewal order.
Per TVLine, NCIS: Hawai’i will be ending with its current third season, and were will not be a Season 4.
