NCIS: Everything We Know About The Hawaii Crossover

The wait is almost over for the NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i crossover. The original series’, following the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, will join together for a special episode for season 1 of the franchise’s newest addition, NCIS Hawai’i, which is different from other spin-offs. The CBS show has a history of producing high-octane drama that brings NCIS teams from different shows together, and this will likely be no different.

As with previous crossovers, members of both NCIS and NCIS Hawai’i will work together to solve a Navy-related murder in the upcoming story. The first crossover in the NCIS universe aired in 2009, entitled “Legend: Part 1,” and the follow-up “Legend: Part 2”, which acted as an introduction to NCIS: Los Angeles. In 2014, former chief special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and the team helped introduce the second spin-off show, NCIS New Orleans, with the two-part crossover, “Crescent City (Part I),” followed by “Crescent City (Part 2)”.

Over the years, NCIS has seen a number of successful crossovers both inside and outside the NCIS universe, such as Hawai’i Five-0. Crossovers usually occur in TV shows that run on the same network as a way to promote each other. In this instance, it will likely serve as a boost for NCIS Hawai’i season 1, which launched in September 2021. Here’s everything that’s known about the NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i crossover.

NCIS & NCIS: Hawai’i Crossover Release Date

The NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i crossover will air at 10pm (ET/PT) on Monday, March 28. The name of the episode is “T’N’T” and will form part of NCIS Hawai’i, series 1 episode 18. While the date was revealed back in January, information about what the episode will entail has been kept under wraps until recently. 

NCIS & NCIS: Hawai’i Crossover Cast: Which Characters Are Involved?

Only two members of the NCIS team will head to Hawai’i. Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) and Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) guest star in the episode with members of the NCIS Hawai’i team. Photos released ahead of the program show Torres and NCIS Hawai’i chief Tennant together, suggesting they will work alongside each other. Another photo shows Knight with NCIS Hawai’i computer specialist Ernie Malik (Jason Antoon). Elsewhere Jesse Boone (Noah Mills) is standing with Tennant, Torres, and Kai Holman (Alex Tarrant). Additionally, NCIS actors Diona Reasonover (Kasie) and recent addition Gary Cole (Parker), who is not Gibbs’ replacement, are listed as guest stars, suggesting that they will appear virtually.

NCIS & NCIS: Hawai’i Crossover Story Details: What Will Happen?

Details of the episode have finally been released by the network. The story will follow NCIS agents Nick Torres and Jessica Knight heading to join the NCIS Hawai’i team after learning that a key witness in an old explosion case is there and holding crucial evidence. In the photo with Torres and Tennant, they can be seen staring at each other intently. Off-screen, the pair have been friends for years, so it will be interesting to see how this chemistry plays out when the cameras are rolling. The NCIS agents will then provide updates on the case to Kasie and Parker via videolink. Excitement for the episode has been mounting since Valderrama posted a video on Instagram. He said: “Listen, Listen. I am headed off to Hawaii to shoot a crossover event.” Law added: “I’ve also got something to tell you⁠—I’m coming to Hawaii, too.”
