'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. ❤️🤙🏽.'

'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!'

‘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.

Season 1 of Rescue HI-Surf averaged 2.8 million total viewers (with delayed playback), ranking No. 4 out of the seven dramas Fox aired this TV season (besting Accused, Alert: MPU and The Cleaning Lady). The island drama delivered 65% audience retention out of lead-in Lone Star, and was this season's 10th-most watched new broadcast drama (out of 12).
