CBS unveiled NCIS: New York, a fast-tracked spinoff centered on LL Cool J’s Sam Hanna returning to his New York City roots to lead a new team alongside co-lead Scott Caan. The project moved from first conversations to greenlight in about five months, with R. Scott Gemmill scripting, Byron Balasco set to run the series, and a 20-episode order anticipated. The setup allows crossovers with the mothership NCIS and builds on LL Cool J’s long-running portrayal of Sam Hanna (17 years), described as a “superhero” who puts life on the line for partners and country.
LL Cool J will reprise his role as Sam Hanna in Season 3 of NCIS: Hawai'i as a recurring guest star. He made his first appearance in the Season 2 finale of the show. Executive producers of the show expressed their excitement to have LL Cool J on board, and Vanessa Lachey welcomed him to the ohana. NCIS: Hawai'i is produced by CBS Studios.
