Hawaii is a United States television series produced and distributed by NBC Universal Television for the NBC television network. Originally titled Pearl City, this police drama was produced with the series Hawaii Five-O in mind, and debuted on August 31, 2004. Written by Executive Producer Jeff Eastin of True Lies 2 and Rush Hour 3 movie fame, the series revolves around a fictional elite crime unit of the Honolulu Police Department headed by veteran detective and local legend Sean Harrison (played by Michael Biehn of The Rock, Aliens, The Terminator movie fame) and John Declan (played by Sharif Atkins of ER television fame), a former Chicago Police Department detective transferred to the state of Hawaii for his talents.

The series is considered one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the Hawaii State Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism's Hawaii Film Office, desperate to repeat the economic prosperity once gained and driven by the CBS television series Hawaii Five-O for the state's tourism industry.

The series was cancelled in October 2004. Although eight episodes were filmed, only seven actually aired.
