CBS is about to continue its police procedural drama series with NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11. The network has renewed the show for another season, along with another spinoff series NCIS: New Orleans.
CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said the two shows had been the "key pillars" to the network's schedule for several years. "They offer heroic stories, big stars and have attracted a passionate, loyal fan base," he said, via TVLine.
Fans will continue to see Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J reprising their roles as G. Callen and Sam Hanna, respectively, in NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11. Kahl promised these two would return with more "terrific NCIS stories" to its fans in the U.S. and around the world.
The show's renewal shuts down all the rumors NCIS: Los Angeles will end with Season 10. So with the series' continuation, fans can expect to see more JAG crossover.
Digital Spy reported NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11 will kick with the continuation of the JAG crossover. Here, fans will still see Catherine Bell and David James Elliott as Sarah MacKenzie and Harmon Rabb, respectively.
The two JAG agents are commissioned to work with the NCIS: Los Angeles team for four episodes - Season 10's final two episodes and Season 11's first two episodes. "Because their characters live in our world, and because we're a spin-off of a spin-off of JAG, it seemed like a great reunion in some ways for us, as fans, and for the actors," showrunner R Scott Gemmill said about the reunion.
Gemmill explained bringing Bell and Elliott in the show is more exciting than going back to a case that the JAG officers handled. He continued to say people behind the show took a "whole different direction," and it is much more exciting as fans are about to see the best of the past with the show's future in NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11.
So aside from O'Donnell and LL Cool J, fans can expect to see their favorite characters return to NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11. Daniela Ruah, Barrett Foa, and Eric Christian Olsen will also surely come back to reprise their roles as Kensi Blye, Eric Beale, and Marty Deeks.
CBS has yet to announce when NCIS: Los Angeles will be out, but there are expectations it will be released in mid-September, when the previous seasons also aired, around September 22 or 29. The show may keep its Sunday time slot
