NCIS: Hawai’i is the latest installment in the franchise, and with it comes a new cast for audiences to come to know and love. The NCIS: Hawai’i cast ranges from industry veterans to unfamiliar faces. As the franchise’s fourth installment, NCIS: Hawai’i follows a group of mainlanders as they are transplanted to the NCIS Pearl Harbor station in Hawai’i. The station is run by the special agent in charge, Jane Tennant, tasked with putting together a team to take with her on her new assignment.
The NCIS: Hawai’i cast focuses on solving naval-based crimes. However, the series also focuses on balancing duty and family, the struggles of being a female agent in a male-dominated field, and mysteries unique to Hawai’i. NCIS: Hawai’i also marks the first time a spin-off of the NCIS franchise has a woman in the lead: Special Agent Jane Tennant, who joins the likes of Special Agent Leroy Gibbs (who left the main NCIS), G. Callen, Sam Hanna, and Dwayne Pride as the special agent in charge.
