Interestingly, both executive producers Christopher Silber and Jan Nash are attached to the developing NCIS: Hawaii spinoff as creators and executive producers, so the end of NOLA doesn’t mean the end of their time at CBS.
CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl shared that they’re “pleased to give it a big sendoff” and that fans will “have the opportunity to say goodbye to their favorite characters as the final season wraps,” which indicates that NCIS: New Orleans will be able to wrap the series rather than end abruptly.
