NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 Hetty/Syria Storyline Teased By Showrunner
NCIS: Los Angelesexecutive producer and showrunner R. Scott Gemmill teases what's been happening with Hetty in Syria and how she will make her return in season 14. The popular spinoff of NCISjust aired its season 13 finale, and in March, CBS renewed NCIS: LA for another season. Starring LL Cool J as Sam Hanna and Chris O’Donnell as G. Callen, the show follows the Los Angeles unit of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service called the Office of Special Projects (OSP). Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) is the Operations Manager of the OSP. Hetty is a fan-favorite character, with Hunt’s performance earning her two Teen Choice Awards.
In 2018, Hunt was involved in a serious car accident, so she took a year off from filming NCIS: LA. Soon after, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and the actor, 77, kept her distance from the show to stay safe and healthy. The writers explained Hunt's absence from NCIS: LA by having Hetty go off on various overseas missions. It's not unusual for characters in the show to come and go, as NCIS: LA often features crossover stars and reshuffles cast members. Season 13 ended with viewers still left wondering about the status of Hetty’s Syria mission. There were fan theories floating around during the season that her character had died, that she had been taken captive, or that she had somehow initiated a drone strike. Now Hunt is returning to the show, and viewers will finally get some answers.
