NCIS: Los Angeles, the first of three spinoffs, has maintained its popularity into Season 14, and the end of the series seems imminent now that filming has concluded.
In 2009, the show debuted on CBS and followed members of Los Angeles's Office of Special Projects, a division of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service that handles covert operations and surveillance. Similar to NCIS, the spinoff was popular, maintaining consistent ratings for 14 seasons.
NCIS: Los Angeles Officially Wraps Up
In an interview with Parade.com at the series finale wrap party on Friday night, showrunner R. Scott Gemmill admitted that the fact that the high-octane CBS procedural has run for 14 seasons has made it "more difficult" to design a satisfactory ending "because there's so much expectation, and how do you live up to that?"
His idea was to tackle the series finale "character by character" and put everyone in a "very good place in their lives" by the time the credits rolled.
"And hopefully the fans will be happy with it. I think the last scene is really fun and hopeful," he said.
