As NCIS: Los Angeles reaches its conclusion, the series secures its place as one of CBS’ most durable scripted dramas. The two-part Season 14 finale marks the end of a 322-episode run, placing the show among the network’s longest-lasting hits.
Though financial factors reportedly influenced the decision to end the series, showrunner R. Scott Gemmill was able to craft a deliberate and celebratory ending. The finale reflects the show’s identity by combining classic investigations with meaningful character closure.
Part one features the team racing to find a missing ATF agent while uncovering a weapons theft involving military-grade firepower. Meanwhile, personal stories unfold as Callen and Anna prepare for marriage, Rountree’s sister pursues medical school, and Sam deals with family obligations.
The second part leans into nostalgia, culminating in a spontaneous wedding for Callen and Anna. With CSI and Criminal Minds both finding new life after ending, NCIS: Los Angeles could follow a similar path — making this farewell potentially temporary.
