After 14 years of striking their lives on the line, the NCIS: Los Angeles team is handing over their badges. On Friday, Jan. 20, news broke that the hit CBS series could be coming to an end.
Why was NCIS: LA canceled? And when is the general episode? Here's what we all know.
'NCIS: Los Angeles' is ending after Season 14. Details at the sequence finale date.
According to TVLine, NCIS: Los Angeles will come to an end on the conclusion of the current season.
The longest-running NCIS by-product will wrap its 14-year run with the sequence finale on Sunday, May 14 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, and streaming reside and on demand on Paramount Plus. The tournament will mark the 322nd episode of the sequence.
In a observation, president of CBS Entertainment Amy Reisenbach mentioned, "For 14 seasons, NCIS: Los Angeles has been a stalwart of our lineup with characters who were a joy to watch. It’s no surprise this show succeeded as a global franchise. From Day 1, the cast, producers, and crew were amazing network/studios 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."
Why was NCIS: Los Angeles canceled?
As of the time of this writing, no one has spoken publicly about why the verdict was made to cancel NCIS: LA — despite the fact that it's always protected to think that ratings and watch numbers play a large part.
As TVLine reported, Season 14 of the series has been averaging 6.2 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo score, which is down 15 % from its previous season. In total audience numbers, the series ranks No. 12 out of the Thirteen dramas that CBS has aired throughout the current TV season — most effective beating out CSI: Vegas in ultimate place.
Even with lower-than-expected numbers, the news comes as a surprise for the reason that, less than a year in the past, NCIS: Los Angeles had been praised so highly by way of the previous president of CBS Entertainment, Kelly Kahl.
In a 2022 statement concerning the sequence renewal for Season 14, Kahl mentioned, "NCIS, one of the most popular and enduring series in the world, and fan favorite NCIS: Los Angeles have been hugely successful on the CBS schedule for years."
