"Dies Irae" – When a figure from Tennant's CIA past reemerges, the NCIS team seeks help from the most unlikely place in order to catch a killer who threatens to destroy everything Tennant has built, on the conclusion to the two-part second season finale of the CBS Original series NCIS: HAWAI'I, Monday, May 22 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

After CBS surprisingly canceled , many fans are not happy. The NCIS spinoff was known for being the first series in the franchise for having a female lead with Vanessa Lachey. Unfortunately, with the network renewing the bulk of its current lineup and with multiple new shows already set to premiere next season, there just wasn’t enough space, and likely a few other factors as well.

Fans were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts on the cancellation, and boy, are they angry. Between the fact that fans felt blindsided and that there’s many more stories to tell, along with the representation that NCIS: Hawai’i had, people are truly going to miss it when the finale airs on May 6. It’s a huge disappointment, and I don’t blame people for airing out their feelings.
