„NCIS: Hawai’i“ star Vanessa Lachey said she was „gutted, confused, blindsided“ after CBS canceled the franchise’s first female-led show on Friday.
Vanessa Lachey expressed her shock and dismay over the cancellation of her show „NCIS: Hawai’i.“
The 43-year-old actress starred as Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant in the Hawaii-based „NCIS“ spinoff and made history as the franchise’s first female lead when the crime procedural premiered in 2021.
On Friday, news broke that „NCIS: Hawai’i,“ which is currently airing its third season, would not return for a fourth. Lachey shared her reaction in a post on her Instagram Story Friday night.
„Gutted, confused, blindsided,“ Lachey wrote on an image of the „NCIS: Hawai’i“ logo.
„Grateful, confident, beloved fans!“ she continued. „Processing this news and still being present with my family. I Love You all!“
