Are you feeling the absence of the NCIS: Los Angeles cast post the series finale? Daniela Ruah, a key cast member, has hinted at a potential return to the franchise in the future. Is there a chance Kensi Blye might transition to NCIS: Hawai’i following the cancellation of NCIS: Los Angeles? Here’s what we know so far.
On May 21, 2023, NCIS: Los Angeles concluded its run with an emotional Season 14 finale. Starring LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell, the show had a successful 14-year run since its debut in September 2009. Daniela Ruah portrayed NCIS special agent Kensi Blye throughout the series until its final season in 2023.
In an October 2022 interview with Smashing Interviews, Ruah reflected on the best aspects of playing Blye. She emphasized Kensi’s flawed humanity, her growth over the years, and the joy of working with her co-stars, whom she considered family after 14 years.
Regarding the possibility of joining NCIS: Hawai’i, Ruah mentioned that she would figure it out if the opportunity arose. She expressed happiness about her character’s pregnancy news in the series and believed that after years of dedication to the greater good, the characters deserved moments of happiness.
There’s a potential parallel with LL Cool J, who is set to appear as a recurring guest star in Season 3 of NCIS: Hawai’i. LL Cool J expressed his excitement about joining the NCIS: Hawai’i team on Twitter, and the show’s lead, Vanessa Lachey, warmly welcomed him.
NCIS: Hawai’i, the fourth spin-off in the NCIS universe, premiered in 2021 and recently concluded its second season. CBS announced its renewal for a third season in 2023-2024, with Vanessa Lachey making history as the first Asian American woman to lead an NCIS series.
