And the silver lining to that is it's been able to give us so much time with our kids.' Although she noted that her older son still acts like a kid for now, Vanessa added there's so much she's excited to experience with her kids once they get a little older. 'Camden is just…he's 12 but he's still like a 12-year-old boy. He watches Bluey with his brother and sister and they're just still kids," the star said.

'NCIS Hawai'i' Alum Jason Antoon Laments Show's Abandoned Studio Lot 1 Year After Surprise Cancellation
Jason Antoon shared a clip of the seemingly abandoned studio, where he once filmed NCIS: Hawai'i The actor noted that the lot was now "empty and full of weeds" one year after the show's cancellation Antoon starred as cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the CBS series for three seasons One year after NCIS: Hawai'i came to an end, Jason Antoon is reflecting on how times have changed on the lot where they once filmed. On June 6, the 53-year-old actor — who starred as cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the CBS series — posted a clip on X of the seemingly abandoned studio, showing overgrown weeds across the property. 'Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds,' he shared alongside the video. In addition to NCIS: Hawai'i, which was cancelled in April 2024 after three seasons, Hawaii Film Studio — located in Honolulu, Hawaii — was also home to shows including Lost, Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I. Following the cancellation of Fox's Rescue HI-Surf, Hawaii is no longer the filming location for any TV series for the first time in 20 years as networks work to keep production costs low. Amid the change, Gov. Josh Green announced his plans to veto a bill that would 'sunset' tax credits in the state after five years. His office said, 'This bill would have a significant long-term impact on income tax credits across a variety of industries, including film and television, research, and renewable energy,' and 'disincentivize future investors from doing business in Hawai'i.' In April, Antoon shared his disappointment that NCIS: Hawai'i was coming to an end, writing, 'This business is brutal and makes no sense. But we had soooo much fun. Love you all and mahalo.' His costar Vanessa Lachey, who played Jane Tennant on the series, also shared that she was 'gutted' and 'processing' the news. "This show meant so much to me… and more every day I find, to lots of people. As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV," she wrote on Instagram. "This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings,' she added. 'I encourage you ALL to as well! Anything we dream is ours for the taking, no matter what the circumstance! A Hui Hou. ❤️🤙🏽.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In August, Lachey bid farewell to the Aloha State in a message on Instagram, accompanied by a carousel of colorful photos. She began the post, 'A Hui Hou' ❤️,' which means 'until we meet again.' 'Home is where the heart is…,' she continued. 'Hawai'i, you will always have my heart! Mahalo Nui Loa [Thank you very much] for 3 beautiful, magical years you gave me and my family!'

See This Heartbreaking Footage Of Abandoned CBS Studio After Magnum P.I. And NCIS: Hawai'i Were Canceled
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. While we're officially six months into the 2025 TV schedule, there are still a handful of TV cancellations from 2024 that I will never get over. NCIS: Hawai'i and Magnum P.I. are two of these. The series, both set and filmed in the Aloha State, ended after their respective third and fifth seasons last year, with Magnum actually canceled for the second time this time around. The axings still feel fresh to me, butnew footage has been posted of the abandoned studio lot in Hawaii, and it's very clear time has passed. Jason Antoon, who portrayed cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the NCIS: Hawai'i spinoff, shared a video on X from outside Hawaii Film Studio in Honolulu, O'ahu. It's no longer bustling with projects, and it seems pretty abandoned. So much so that it's empty and 'full of weeds,' as Antoon himself confirmed. The overgrown grass an empty feeling is heartbreaking, and it's sad seeing the studios aren't bringing much entertainment work to the island anymore. That wasn't always the case; Hawaii Film Studio was also previously the home of Hawaii Five-0 and Lost, as well as several other films and shows. Rising costs have plagued the entertainment industry in recent years. "Financials" were previously cited by CBS as a reason the decision was made, and it's probably getting more expensive to shoot in Hawaii, and budget cuts seemed like a probability even before the show was shut down. NCIS: Hawai'i's cancellation last year was a pretty big shock, especially since it was doing well for the Eye Network. Star Vanessa Lachey was blindsided by the cancelation, and Antoon ended up trolling CBS over the news. There had been some hope that CBS would change its mind, since there were campaigns and petitions from very upset fans, but that never happened. Now seeing the studio looking like a ghost town makes me sad all over again. There was hope things could continue in Hawaii following the cancellations, thanks to Fox's Rescue: HI-Surf, a lifeguard drama set on the North Shore of O'ahu. However, that series also got the boot in May, but only because it didn't bring in the audience Fox was expecting. What really needs to happen is for a new show to take over the studio lot, one that is guaranteed to not only bring in jobs to the locals but one that will last, a rarity on network TV these days. NCIS: Hawai'i and Magnum P.I. may be no longer, but the shows live on thanks to streaming. Hawai'i can be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription, while Magnum is available with an Amazon Prime subscription.

‘NCIS: Hawai'i' Alum Jason Antoon Shares Clip Of Canceled Show's Vacant Studio Lot
A year after NCIS: Hawai'i ended its three-season run on CBS, the state's film and TV industry continues to suffer a decline in business. Jason Antoon, who played cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the police procedural spin-off, recently shared a video of the series' vacant and overgrown Hollywood Film Studio, where shows like Lost (2004-'10), Hawaii Five-0 (2010-'20) and Magnum P.I. (2018-'24) also filmed. More from Deadline 'NCIS Hawai'i' Cast Joins Together On The Beach To Celebrate Series 'Rescue HI-Surf' Canceled By Fox After One Season '9-1-1' Eyes Hawaii As Setting For Potential New Spinoff On ABC 'Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds,' wrote Antoon, sharing the clip Friday on X. Hawaii is an expensive location that is harder to fit into continuously trimmed TV budgets, especially in linear TV. Cost was among the factors for CBS' decision to cancel NCIS: Hawai'i after three seasons, despite being the #12 most watched non-sports program on broadcast, averaging 7.8 million linear viewers and 10M multi-platform viewers (Live+35). After the cancelation last April, Antoon wrote on Instagram, 'This business is brutal and makes no sense. But we had soooo much fun. Love you all and mahalo.' Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds. #NCISHawaii #MagnumPI #Hawaii50 #Lost 😢 — Jason Antoon (@jasonantoon) June 7, 2025 The actor's latest post comes after Fox's Rescue HI-Surf, which also filmed in the Aloha State, was canceled after one season last month. Although CEO Rob Wade said the reason for the decision 'certainly wasn't the locale or the budget,' filming in Hawaii made it one of the network's more expensive dramas, coming in at close to $4 million per episode. Meanwhile, Hawaii was passed over as the locale for the next 9-1-1 spin-off, which is instead filming in Nashville, starring Chris O'Donnell and premiering this fall on ABC. On Friday, Gov. Josh Green, M.D. released an intent-to-veto list, which includes HB796, a bill that would sunset tax credits after five years. 'This bill would have a significant long-term impact on income tax credits across a variety of industries, including film and television, research, and renewable energy,' said Gov. Green of the veto. 'These tax credits are critical to supporting economic development and diversification, particularly within growing and emerging sectors. Categorically sunsetting income tax credits will not only disincentivize future investors from doing business in Hawai'i, but will destabilize existing businesses that currently rely upon these tax credits.
