Filming is set to begin in early December. The cast of NCIS: Hawai’i reunited over the weekend in celebration of Thanksgiving. Jason Antoon, Vanessa Lachey, Tori Anderson, Noah Mills, and Seana Kofoed marked the holiday together, with Jason taking to X with a smiling selfie of him and his castmates.
He said in the caption, “Happy Thanksgiving! I send my love and peace to everyone.”
When they saw the actors again, fans were ecstatic and expressed their happiness in the comments area. A commenter said: “Happy Thanksgiving! Looking forward to seeing you all again on our screens! One person wrote, “It’s great to see most of our NCISHI cast together again! Happy back to filming for all cast and crew very soooon.” I’m eager for February to arrive.”
A third person penned: “Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well. Look like everyone is having a great time! Can’t wait for season 3 to start!”
A few weeks before the group is scheduled to return to the Hawaii site to film the upcoming third season, Jason makes this post. According to a recent revelation from Noah, who plays Jesse Boone, filming starts on December 4. The actor expressed his excitement to resume his career by telling Entertainment Tonight, “It’s all pretty quick now, I think.” As tentative as December 4. We begin filming, and as you would imagine, we can get up really quickly since we have such a fantastic staff and a strong machine over there from the first two seasons.”
Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike has come to an end, actors can return to work, with filming expected to commence on various TV and film productions in the coming weeks.
Noah added: “Everybody’s really excited. And just super grateful to be able to go back to this fantastic job. NCIS Hawaii, that’s my fam. Right now, I miss my castmates, miss making the TV, the episodes. I know we have amazing stuff written for the season. Time to not leave the fans hanging. Get some episodes out.”
Earlier this month, CBS announced that both NCIS and NCIS: Hawai’i will return to screens in February 2024.
The 21st season of NCIS and the third season of NCIS: Hawai’i will premiere on February 12, with the former airing at 9 PM and the latter at 10 PM.
As for what fans can expect from the upcoming season of NCIS: Hawai’i, Noah previously teased some big changes.
“There are some major changes coming to season 3 and it will be a different dynamic, I’ll put it that way, in the beginning of season 3,” he told ET, adding: “And I’m sure there will be some uncomfortable adjustments and some new relationships that we’ll have to explore within season 3, which I think will be really fun and a little tense.”
Who is starring in NCIS: Hawai’i season 3?
