Jane Tennant Already Has Better Position for NCIS, and It’s Not the One You Think

The character still has a chance to surpass her scrapped series.

NCIS: Hawai’i recently ended on a major cliffhanger, prompting numerous fans worldwide to express their frustration with CBS in various ways. However, some fans still hope the ending’s big mystery can be unveiled without bringing the show back.

Despite being unfairly canceled by the network, the spinoff’s main character might still have a future in the NCIS franchise. Recent developments suggest a suitable place for her in the upcoming NCIS: Origins series. However, she might be a better fit replacing someone quite different.

In the NCIS Season 21 finale, Special Agent Jessica Knight eagerly accepts a job offer from NCIS Director Leon Vance. Knight takes on the role of REACT Chief Training Officer at Camp Pendleton, transferring across the country and leaving the MCRT. Meanwhile, NCIS: Hawai’i ended with a cliffhanger for Special Agent-in-Charge Jane Tennant, hinting at something significant coming her way, though its nature remains unknown.

It’s unclear if Jessica Knight is leaving NCIS permanently or will return as a guest character. Her departure opens up a position at the MCRT, leading some fans to speculate that NCIS: Hawai’i’s Jane Tennant could step in, providing an explanation for the finale’s cliffhanger.

However, this move might not be ideal for Jane Tennant. As the first female Special Agent-in-Charge, Tennant’s role in NCIS: Hawai’i is more prestigious than Knight’s, making the transition a demotion rather than a promotion. Nonetheless, Tennant could join NCIS temporarily, replacing Alden Parker while he recovers from his injuries sustained in the Season 21 finale.

This scenario seems fitting, especially since Tennant’s former mentor Maggie Shaw unexpectedly appears in the final episode of NCIS: Hawai’i with urgent news, suggesting a seamless transition into the main NCIS series.
