NCIS: HAWAII - Season 2 Promo

Promo for Paramount/5USA, driving interest for the final seven episodes of the second season, airing through July/August/September 2025.

My approach was to ensure that the briefed aspects were met, showcasing some of Hawaii's beautiful locations, the team dynamics, the action and suspense, while bringing a cinematic feeling to the show.

The use of music helped build a suspenseful start to the promo, with a nod to some local instruments.
As the action begins, we transition to a Zimmer-esque driving track that ramps up the tension to the end.

A potent piece of dialogue from Ernie Malik (played by the great Jason Antoon - remember him from the brilliant Cyber Parlour scene in Minority Report?!), served as a strong way to frame the action sequences and provide some mystery to the storylines of these final episodes.

“Skullduggery. Chicanery. Deception. Spycraft, my friends. We’re through the looking glass.”

The 20 second edit, focuses on the final action section of the 40 second cut.
