NCIS: Hawai'i has dropped a clip teasing the return of LL Cool J's special agent Sam Hanna in season 3.
The NCIS: Los Angeles character has relocated to Hawai'i where he'll work with Vanessa Lachey's Jane Tennant.
In the newly released sneak peek from the upcoming chapter, set to premiere as part of CBS Premiere Week after Super Bowl LVIII (February 12) in the US, Hanna and Tennant are busy on a stakeout when Lachey's Special Agent-in-Charge goes to check out a sketchy-looking warehouse.

"Don't do anything crazy," Hanna warns Tennant before she gives him a cheeky look and proceeds to bypass a man who seems to have something to hide.
"Ok, what are we officially calling this pairing: Hannant? Tenna?" the official NCISverse account wrote on Instagram.

Speaking about working with LL Cool J (real name: James Todd Smith) on a "triple crossover" for fans of NCIS, Lachey celebrated the franchise bringing different universes together.
"One of the most beautiful things about working on NCIS: Hawai'i is the show's ability to bring the franchise together. We have had so much fun spreading the aloha to NCIS and NCIS: LA with the triple crossover," the Love Is Blind star said.
"Now, we have the amazing opportunity to bring Sam Hanna to Hawai'i to help the island solve some cases and maybe have a few laughs in the process. Welcome to the ohana, Todd! It's going to be a fun ride!"
Season 3 of NCIS: Hawai'i premieres on CBS in the US on February 12, with a UK release date TBC. NCIS seasons 1-20 are streaming on Disney+ in the UK.
