LL Cool J Returns to NCIS for Guest Spot

LL Cool J is set to reprise his role as Sam Hanna in the main NCIS series for a special appearance on April 21. The announcement was made through a joint Instagram post with the NCIS account, where LL Cool J enthusiastically stated, 'Back on set, baby! NCIS. Let’s get it.' This marks another return for the character who was initially introduced during NCIS season 6 and went on to star in the NCIS: Los Angeles spinoff for 14 seasons until its conclusion in 2023. LL Cool J also appeared in NCIS: Hawai’i, which was canceled after three seasons in 2024. The upcoming episode, titled 'Moonlit,' involves an investigation into the murder of three combat veterans, with a suspect who will only speak to Sam Hanna. The NCIS series has been renewed for a 23rd season, continuing the legacy of the long-running franchise.
