CBS’s NCIS: Hawai’i wrapped up season two with episode 22, “Dies Irae,” which featured a special appearance by NCIS: Los Angeles star LL Cool J. The network’s long-running NCIS: LA concluded its 14-season run on May 21, 2023, but that series finale and his cameo on NCIS: Hawai’i on May 22 will not be his final outings as Sam Hanna.
NCIS: Hawai’i ‘s season two’s finale found Sam traveling from Morocco to Venezuela to help Jane Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) and Kate Whistler (Tori Anderson). And now the network’s confirmed LL Cool J will appear in season three as a recurring guest star.
“One of the most beautiful things about working on NCIS: Hawai’i is the show’s ability to bring the franchise together. We have had so much fun spreading the aloha to NCIS and NCIS: LA with the triple crossover. Now, we have the amazing opportunity to bring Sam Hanna to Hawai’i to help the island solve some cases and maybe have a few laughs in the process. Welcome to the ohana, Todd! It’s going to be a fun ride!” said Lachey.
In addition to Lachey and Anderson, the series stars Alex Tarrant, Noah Mills, Yasmine Al-Bustami, and Jason Antoon.
“All of us at NCIS: Hawai’i have been huge fans of LL Cool J for years and couldn’t be more thrilled or honored to be adding his spectacular talent to our ohana for season three,” stated executive producers Matt Bosack, Jan Nash, and Christopher Silber.
