With NCIS: Los Angeles officially over, fans aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to Kensi Blye—and Daniela Ruah may be giving them reason not to. Following LL Cool J’s return to the franchise as Sam Hanna on NCIS: Hawai’i, attention has turned to whether Ruah could reprise her iconic role.
In a post-finale interview, Ruah made it clear she’s open to the idea. “If I get asked, I will certainly figure it out,” she said. “If it makes sense, why not?” That measured enthusiasm was enough to spark renewed excitement across the NCIS fandom.
Over 14 seasons, Kensi evolved into one of the franchise’s most layered characters, balancing resilience, vulnerability, and hard-earned joy—culminating in the series finale revelation that she and Deeks were expecting a child. Ruah has spoken fondly of the show that shaped her adult life, both professionally and personally.
