NCIS Hawai'i burst onto the screen last fall and charted a fresh and exciting direction for the franchise.
TV Fanatic got the chance to speak to showrunners Chris Silber and Jan Nash ahead of Season 2 about what's head.
At the beginning of our conversation, I noted that the show is much lighter than some other offerings.
Silber said it was important for the show to have humor and fun, despite some dark cases.
"We want to try to make it fun for everyone," Silber tells TV Fanatic.
Jan and Chris are no strangers to the NCIS universe, having worked on the other shows in the universe.
Silber recalls the origins of NCIS: Hawai'i back to when they planned to introduce a new character to NCIS: New Orleans.

CBS Entertainment chief Kelly Kahl addressed the state of the studio’s most recent misconduct investigation into former “NCIS: New Orleans” showrunner Brad Kern, during his executive session at the Television Critics Association press tour Sunday.
“CBS Studios investigated Brad Kern in 2016,” Kahl told reporters. “Action was taken after that investigation and, you know, there have been no complaints since. I’m troubled and frustrated that reports continue to come out in the press. And because of that we’ve opened up another investigation with outside counsel. The goal of any investigation, internal or external, is to get to the truth, and I believe they will get to truth.”
Kern’s investigation wasn’t the only one Kahl fielded questions about this morning, following the accusations of sexual misconduct posed against CBS Corp CEO Leslie Moonves by six women in a New Yorker story last month.

Even as CBS Television Studios has inked a new two-year deal with NCIS: New Orleans consulting producer Brad Kern, the studio has hired outside counsel to review a previous internal investigation into allegations against Kern of harassment and a hostile work environment, Deadline has confirmed.
“The 2016 allegations concerning Mr. Kern were acted upon immediately with a thorough investigation and subsequent disciplinary action to address behavior and management issues,” said CBS Television Studios in a statement. “We have received no further complaints since this action was implemented. In addition, Mr. Kern agreed to step down from his leadership position as showrunner this season and transition to a consulting producer role. We now believe this matter merits further inquiry and therefore we have engaged outside counsel to review both the original investigation as well as the current situation.”

There are changes at the wheel for NCIS: New Orleans as the procedural drama heads into Season 5.
According to Deadline, showrunner, Brad Kern is departing as both executive producer and showrunner.
While he is giving up two important roles, he will remain as a consultant for the foreseeable future.
Chris Silber will replace him.
The news comes as little surprise when you consider that there have been two internal investigations conducted by CBS TV Studios into Kern's behavior on the show.
It was said that Kern was making the series a hostile environment to work in and complaints from co-workers paved the way for the studio to look into the claims.

Brad Kern is exiting his role as executive producer/showrunner of NCIS: New Orleans. He will serve as consultant on the series going forward. NCIS: New Orleans executive producer Chris Silber has been named new showrunner.
The move comes months after word surfaced in December that Kern had been the subject of two Human Resources investigations by CBS TV Studios while working on the studio’s popular CBS crime procedural. Both reportedly were triggered by complaints from co-workers about a hostile work environment on the show.
Following the second investigation, Kern was reportedly assigned to and underwent six months of sensitivity training/counseling, which he completed in February 2017. There have been no new official complaints filed against him since.
