NCIS: Hawai’i kicked off the production of its third season with a traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony in acknowledgement of the culture of the islands where it films. Series stars Vanessa Lachey, Alex Tarrant, Noah Mills, Jason Antoon, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Tori Anderson and special guest star LL COOL J all turned out at the blessing ceremony, along with the series’ producers and crew.
Kahu (officiant) Aukai Kekoa officiated the ceremony, which includes traditional royal maile leis, Oli Aloha (welcoming chant) and Pule Ho’oku’u (closing prayer). For Season 3, the ceremony centered around the connections that the number three represents with the past, present and future, as well as togetherness, completeness as a team and moving forward as a family.
Here’s everything we know about Season 3 of NCIS: Hawaii as Jane Tennant (Lachey) leads her team of special agents through high-stake investigations into military crimes in the 50th state.
