As fans speculate about the return of Henrietta “Hetty” Lange, played by Linda Hunt since 2009, members of the NCIS: Los Angeles cast and crew are sharing their thoughts. While Hunt’s appearances have been limited in recent years due to safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic and her recovery from a 2018 car accident, her character remains pivotal to the series.
With the show’s Season 14 premiere raising questions about Hetty’s fate after a body in Syria matched her description, concerns about her safety intensified. Although it was later revealed that the body was not Hetty’s, her potential connection to the scene left many wondering about her next move.
Executive producer R. Scott Gemmill confirmed that Hetty’s return is in the plans, emphasizing her significance to the agency and particularly to character Callen, especially with his upcoming wedding. “The plan is to go and rescue her at some point and find out what she’s gotten herself into in Syria,” Gemmill stated, assuring fans that they can expect to see more of Hetty this season.
As NCIS: Los Angeles continues on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, viewers will have to stay tuned to uncover Hetty’s storyline
