NCIS: Hawaii spoilers: Meet Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant

NCIS: Hawaii season 1

As you are eagerly awaiting the premiere of NCIS: Hawaii a little bit later this fall, why not take a look behind the scenes?

It’s been announced already that Vanessa Lachey is poised to play the new lead for the series in Jane Tennant, and if you look HERE and HERE (courtesy of Lachey and also director/executive producer Larry Teng), you can get a couple of photos of the character in action. Jane looks about as you would expect for an NCIS Special Agent in Charge, and the series is getting a chance to film at some pretty important locations. Take, for example, Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam.

Will you see a location like this often on the show? Maybe in terms of exterior shots, but typically premieres are a little more ambitious both in terms of their budgets and locations — they are used to create the world and allow for production moving forward to be a bit more feasible. We do think, though, that in general NCIS: Hawaii will try to utilize as many different island settings as possible. If you have a chance to film in such a beautiful place, wouldn’t you want to take advantage?

As great as these images are, we know for a lot of people the real thing to be hyped for is the premiere itself. So when is that going to be? Well, you’re going to be waiting for a little while still in order to see it. Our hope is that come mid-to-late summer CBS will release something more. We think a trailer will be out before September, which is when the first promos are out there for some of the network’s returning shows. They’ll need to build up a good campaign, even if the spin-off is getting one of the best lead-ins out there in the form of NCIS proper.
