Following the end of the strikes, Season 3 of NCIS: Hawai’i is swiftly approaching. The Season 2 finale of the procedural aired in May 2023, so fans have been waiting a while for new episodes. With just less than a month to go, viewers will soon be reunited with all of their favorite Special Agents and more. The finale included a surprise cameo from LL Cool J’s Sam Hanna just a day after NCIS: Los Angeles aired its series finale. It was then revealed that the rapper will be appearing on the spinoff in a recurring guest capacity, and a new look at the team-up is making the prospect even more real for me.
While it’s unclear just how many episodes LL Cool J will be in, it's definitely known that he'll be in Season 3's first episode. Per the synopsis of the NCIS: Hawai’i season premiere, Sam Hanna surprises Vanessa Lachey’s Jane Tennant when he conducts her final interview after her medical and psych evaluations before she’s cleared for duty. He'll also be helping her in Vegas to take down some hackers. Fans now have another look the team-up, as Lachey shared a shot of the poster on her Instagram, and it’s as if Sam has always been part of the team.
