Is ‘NCIS: LA’ Setting Up Season 10 to Be Its Last?
NCIS: Los Angeles is starting to wrap up with just a few more episodes left in Season 10, but the March 31 episode, “Searching,” has caused some fans to wonder if this will be the show’s final run.
There’s no news from CBS yet about whether West Coast branch of the NCIS franchise will be renewed for Season 11, but some storylines are leading viewers to think this could be the beginning of the end.
For one thing, after Kensi (Daniela Ruah) and Deeks’ (Eric Christian Olsen) wedding, it’s likely that the couple’s next step will be kids, which could take one or both of them out of the field.
Meanwhile, the March 31 episode saw Eric (Barrett Foa) and Nell (Renée Felice Smith) discussed the possibility of moving to a new city. Nell’s mother was just diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease and the treatment center she’s considering is in San Francisco. Plus, Eric’s been offered a job in the Golden City, and it would effectively remove them from the L.A.-based show if they follow through.
The episode also saw Callen (Chris O’Donnell) reunite with his sister and nephew as he stepped in to babysit. Perhaps his desire to strengthen their bond could affect his future with the team?
Ultimately, CBS will make the final decision on whether the team returns for a Season 11, and that will be based mainly on ratings. And while Season 10 is down slightly from Season 9’s 0.91 rating average in the 18-49 demo — it’s averaging 0.88 — it’s still performing well, a good sign for fans.
Either way, viewers had a lot to think about from the hour-long installment. See what some are saying below:
Everyone in tonight’s episode talking about moving on. Nooo. I don’t like this at all. #NCISLA

I just watched #NCISLA #ncislosangeles and I’m scared that this season might be the last season. Nell and Eric might move to San Francisco. And Sam still has a job offer outside of LA. 🙁

Also they have made Eric insufferable this year. He used to be likeable now he is useless on the show.

The past season has been meh.. too much bickering. the story lines seem was to stretched out with little real content, everyone going thru the motions.
Program is dead, no one just seems to want to die...

It was a very odd episode starting with the extended opening sequence involving people we've never seen (who was that guy Kensi was working with?) and a situation we knew nothing about. Clearly the rest of the show was primarily about setting things up. Whether it was simply setting up future story lines or setting up the show's exit we'll have to wait and see.

Scott and Shane have always said they would tie everything up in the final season. That what looks like they doing. CBS never did love this show.

And also, Sam is probably gonna hook up with Fatima ... he speaks her language & understands her culture, his wife died a couple years ago, & his kids are away at school.

Story lines have been blah this season. Thoroughly tired of back and forth with Dekes and Kenzie, and Eric has been ramped up way to much. Nell has gotten grumpy and Hette has been absent for way to long. Ready to move on.

Why would TPTB stop a show that has good ratings? They wouldn't. All this talk is to get the fans all stirred up. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 15th season.
