“You haven’t had the pleasure of my ‘we work as a team’ speech, but you can guess the bullet points,” a sleep-deprived Vanessa Lachey relays in the first trailer for CBS’ upcoming NCIS: Hawai’i.
Premiering Monday, Sept. 20 at 10/9c, the latest NCIS offshoot stars Lachey as Jane Tennant, the first woman Special Agent in Charge of NCIS Pearl. “As diplomatic as she is hard-charging, Tennant is a keen investigator who can navigate a crime scene and inter-bureau politics with equal aplomb. She’s also a single mother mother who often finds herself torn between running a family and running NCIS,” per Jane’s official description.
Lachey on Thursday shared the first official NCIS: Hawai’i trailer on Twitter, which you can check out below:
