By Movieguide® Contributor
LL Cool J is coming back to the NCIS franchise!
Fans of NCIS: LOS ANGELES were sad to see his character, NCIS Senior Special Agent Sam Hanna, go. However, he recently made a return in the season 2 finale of NCIS: HAWAI’I.
LL Cool J’s appearance in NCIS: HAWAI’I isn’t the end of Sam Hanna, though.
In an Instagram post, he announced, “Couldn’t keep Sam Hanna off the case for too long!! Starting tonight, Sam Hanna will join forces with the @ncishawaiicbs team as a recurring guest star in the upcoming third season. Tune in the season 2 finale of @ncishawaiicbs on @cbstv at 10 ET/PT or on @paramountplus for live streaming and on demand.”
NCIS: HAWAI’I’s executive producers — Matt Basack, Jan Nash and Christopher Silber — are equally excited about LL Cool J joining the cast.
“All of us at NCIS: Hawai’i have been huge fans of LL Cool J for years,” they said in a statement about his addition to the cast. “[We] couldn’t be more thrilled or honored to be adding his spectacular talent to our ohana for season 3.”
It’s unclear how Sam Hanna will fit into the NCIS: HAWAI’I universe, but fans can’t wait to see LL Cool J back on their screens.
This isn’t the first time LL Cool J has partnered with the cast and crew of NCIS: HAWAI’I. Movieguide® previously reported:
