Daniela Ruah, who played Kensi Blye on NCIS: Los Angeles, has commented on the possibility of returning to the NCIS franchise. She stated that she would be open to reprising her role if asked and if it makes sense. LL Cool J's surprise appearance in the NCIS: Hawaiʻi season 2 finale has opened up the possibility for other NCIS: LA alums to return. Ruah's potential appearance wouldn't have to be a heavy lift or part of a larger crossover.

NCIS: Los Angeles was reportedly not canceled due to low ratings, so there is still a chance for her character's return.
