NCIS: Hawai’i was cancelled by CBS on Friday, and those involved with the series have taken to social media to share their reactions and gratitude to their co-workers and viewers.

The series follows the NCIS team stationed at Pearl Harbor. It stars Vanessa Lachey, Alex Tarrant, Noah Mills, Yasmine Al-Bustami, Jason Antoon, Tori Anderson, and Kian Talan. LL Cool J, whose NCIS: Los Angeles series was cancelled last year, joined the series for season three as a special guest star.

Two of the series’ creators, Christopher Silber and Matt Bosack, posted the following about the cancellation of NCIS: Hawai’i.

#NCISHawaii was a dream. And while it’s ended, I am forever grateful to my partners, @csilb and @JanNash100, our amazing cast, led by @VanessaLachey, the entire crew, and this wonderful island I call home… (1/2)

Four years ago, @JanNash100 @mattbosack and I started something very special. We joined with an incredible cast, amazing writers and crew… and gathered in Hawai’i to make a show. But ended up creating an ohana. I’m so grateful to you all.https://t.co/RwnvCNDt8d

“Gutted, confused, blindsided. Grateful, confident, beloved fans,” Lachey wrote on her Instagram account. “Processing this news and still being present with my family. I Love You all!” She added, “Mahalo Nui Loa,” which translates to “Thank you very much”.

Writer Amy Rutberg and other members of the cast also reacted to the news.

Yeah it’s pretty shocking. And sad. Really sad. We hit all the right metrics and yet… thank you to the #NCISHawaii fans. You made this a joy for 3 wonderful seasons. I will miss writing for these beautiful people! #NCISHawaii @ncisverse pic.twitter.com/7zDSWmb5oT

Having a really hard time processing this one. Thank you to our incredible crew who made every single day feel like I was living a dream.

I want to say thank you to all the fans. My heart breaks for you as well.

This is a huge loss for representation.

Love you all so much. https://t.co/Bc58iDvXR0
