So, when is the second season releasing? What is the plot? Who would return to play the lead roles? Keep reading to know further details.

NCIS Hawai’i Plot and Cast

Unlike its predecessor, NCIS: Hawai’i’s first season didn’t end on a cliffhanger. Everything was just peachy as the season closed on a big party that Jane Tennant had thrown for her colleagues and their families. Lucy and Whistler were together, Kai and his father were on good terms, and Tennant had a budding romance of her own with Captain Joe Milius. With all the plot points seemingly resolved, there’s only room to speculate on what Season 2 will cover.

Perhaps Lucy and Whistler will find some bumps in the road, but it still looks like they will be the series’ marquee couple, so they’re probably together for the long haul. However, the future is less hopeful for Tennant and Milius. The captain was ordered back to the Pentagon for a new mission, so if he and Tennant were to have a relationship, it would have to be long-distance. When asked about the pairing, Vanessa Lachey told PopCulture.com, “I will say we started filming Season 2 and there are some sparks and it may or may not be [with] Milius. But you won’t be disappointed. That I can promise.”

Now talking about the cast, it includes Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant, Noah Mills plays Jesse Boone, Yasmine Al-Bustami as Lucy Tara, Alex Tarrant as Kai Holman, and Jason Antoon as computer specialist Ernie Malik. We will also get to see Tori Anderson as FBI agent Kate Whistler. Mahina Napoleon is also returning as Julie Tennant in a recurring role, while the actress can next be seen in Tales of the Walking Dead on AMC.
