Original NCIS: Los Angeles character, Sam Hanna (played by LL Cool J), will appear in a recurring guest role in Season 3 of NCIS: Hawai'i. The LA spinoff recently ended after 14 seasons, but at least one familiar face will continue in the NCIS universe. Sam Hanna made a surprise appearance in the Season 2 finale of NCIS: Hawai'i, where he helped rescue Special Agent in Charge Jane Tennant. The episode hinted at the possibility of other NCIS: LA characters appearing in the future.
