NCIS: Hawaii Spoilers – Character’s Future
Much hasn’t been revealed about the character’s future and Yasmine Al-Bustami remains a part of the series’ main cast.
It is speculated that her scattered appearance on the CBS show could be a scheduling conflict with another TV show she is filming for. As per Yasmine’s IMDb profile, she recently starred in The Chosen Season 3. While she has been a part of all three seasons, the third one was shot last year around the same time NCIS: Hawaii Season 2 was being filmed. So, her absence was intentionally written into the CBS show.
So, what do you think of Yasmine Al-Bustami’s continuous absence from NCIS: Hawaii? Will she eventually leave the show? Share your thoughts in the comments!

It’s not al-bustami who is breaking up the ship (kacy). It is Anderson. Think Maggie Shaw. Why would Whistler, an FBI agent, be sent to Venezuela with Tennant. FBI does not generally go on international trips. Remember in September 2022 there was an article which stated Maggie White would return this season. There is not much time left. All the behind the scenes pictures point to Anderson leaving. NCIS Hawai’i is setting up the demise of the Kacey relationship.
