NCIS: Los Angeles fans are thrilled to hear that Daniela Ruah, known for her role as Kensi Blye, is making a return to the NCIS franchise—this time as a director. Following the cancellation of NCIS: LA after 14 seasons, Ruah is stepping back into the world she helped shape, but in a new capacity.
Ruah will direct two episodes within the NCIS universe: one for the original NCIS series and another for NCIS: Hawaii. The first episode is scheduled to air in March, followed by the second in April. Excited fans have taken to social media, expressing their joy at her return. One viewer commented, “So awesome to see you back with NCIS! Miss Kensi & Deeks,” while another wrote, “You’re going to do an awesome job, Daniela.”
This isn’t Ruah’s first time in the director’s chair; she previously directed six episodes of NCIS: LA, making her directorial debut in season 12. Reflecting on her journey, she shared, “Kensi was born as a character on NCIS 15 years ago, so now to be able to step onto that set again, as a director, is an absolute honor.”
As Ruah transitions into her new role, fans are eager to see how her experiences and insights will influence the episodes. With both NCIS and NCIS: Hawaii gearing up for new seasons, her involvement adds an exciting layer to the franchise’s continuing legacy.
