The spin-off series will conclude with 322 episodes, making it one of the longest-running primetime CBS series in history.
NCIS: Los Angeles is an action-drama series starring Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Medalion Rahimi, Caleb Castille, and Gerald McRaney. Returning actors include Duncan Campbell, Alicia Coppola, Natalia del Riego, Richard Gant, Bar Paly, Kavi Ramachandran Ladnier, Pamela Reed and Tye White.
The action drama revolves around LA's NCIS division, charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals who pose a threat to the security of the United States. Special Agent 'G' Callen (O'Donnell) is a chameleon who infiltrates the criminal underworld and his partner, Special Agent Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), is a former Navy SEAL. The team also consists of Operational Manager Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange (Hunt); Special Agent Kensi Blye (Ruah), the exceptionally smart daughter of a slain Marine; Marty Deeks (Olsen), a seasoned LAPD undercover detective; Middle East specialist and cryptologist Fatima Namazi (Rahimi); and former FBI Agent Devin Rountree (Castille).
Retired Admiral Hollis Kilbride (McRaney) and the team keep them on their toes. Armed with the latest high-tech equipment, this close-knit unit is regularly sent into life-threatening situations and rely on each other to do whatever it takes to protect national interests.
According to sources, the cast and crew of NCIS: Los Angeles have been notified of the end of the series. While the series is likely expensive to produce given its long run, the cancellation came as a surprise given the strong ratings for the three-way crossover with NCIS and NCIS: Hawaii.
The CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Criminal Minds franchises have both been revived in recent years, so there's always a chance that NCIS: Los Angeles will return in some form at some point. Meanwhile, the producers have enough time to give the series a proper farewell.
“For 14 seasons, NCIS: Los Angeles has been a stalwart of our lineup with characters who were a joy to watch,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “From day one, the cast, producers and crew were amazing network/studio partners, and their teamwork, talent and spirit vividly came through on the screen. We are so grateful for the collaboration and remarkable run of these treasured members of our CBS family, and plan to give them the big sendoff they and their fans deserve.”
