New photos from the upcoming NCIS: Los Angeles finale hint at a heartfelt goodbye. After more than 300 episodes, the show is set to conclude with its 14th season. The spinoff quietly earned its place as one of CBS’s longest-running primetime scripted series. While still performing well in the ratings, the decision to end the series was reportedly driven by the show’s high production costs. Fortunately, showrunner R. Scott Gemmill and the writing team had ample time to craft a satisfying conclusion for fans.
The two-part finale, set to air Sunday, May 14, and conclude on Sunday, May 21, offers a mix of high-stakes action and personal milestones. In newly released photos via TVLine, fans can see G. Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Anna Kolcheck (Bar Paly) finally tying the knot, with Sam (LL Cool J) and Kensi (Daniela Ruah) in attendance.
What to Expect from the Finale
The series finale kicks off with “New Beginnings, Part One”, where the team investigates a missing ATF agent and stolen military-grade weapons. On the personal side, Callen and Anna continue planning their wedding, Rountree’s sister interviews for medical school, and Sam encourages his father to complete a drug test. These storylines carry into the second half of the finale.
In “New Beginnings, Part Two”, the team continues its search for the missing agent, while Callen and Anna decide on an impromptu wedding. The finale will be followed by a one-hour special, A Salute to NCIS: Los Angeles, hosted by Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier. The special will feature memorable moments, interviews with cast members, and reflections on the show’s 14-year history.
A Satisfying Farewell for Fans
From the photos and episode descriptions, it appears the finale aims to leave beloved characters in a positive place while resolving key storylines fans have long anticipated. With the original NCIS and NCIS: Hawaiʻi renewed, there’s always the possibility that Callen, Sam, and other favorites could make guest appearances in the future, keeping the spirit of NCIS: Los Angeles alive for years to come.
