Noah, who plays Jesse Boone, recently revealed that shooting begins on December 4. Sharing his eagerness to get back to work, the actor told Entertainment Tonight: “It’s all pretty quick now, I think. Tentative like Dec. 4. We start shooting, and you know we have such a great crew and such a good machine over there going from the first two seasons that we can be up pretty quick.”
Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike has come to an end, actors can return to work, with filming expected to commence on various TV and film productions in the coming weeks.
Noah added: “Everybody’s really excited. And just super grateful to be able to go back to this fantastic job. NCIS Hawaii, that’s my fam. Right now, I miss my castmates, miss making the TV, the episodes. I know we have amazing stuff written for the season. Time to not leave the fans hanging. Get some episodes out.”

“There are some major changes coming to season 3 and it will be a different dynamic, I’ll put it that way, in the beginning of season 3,” he told ET, adding: “And I’m sure there will be some uncomfortable adjustments and some new relationships that we’ll have to explore within season 3, which I think will be really fun and a little tense.”
