After more than a month of waiting for the new episode of "NCIS: Los Angeles," fans are asking when the hiatus will end for the famous procedural series.
The last episode that CBS aired of the series was the 13th episode of Season 11 last January 12. It has only aired 2 episodes since January 5 after it came back from the holiday break.
Fans expected the series to return on its usual time slot last Sunday. However, it was replaced by repeat episodes of "NCIS" and "FBI." Express UK speculates that this is because the 2020 Academy Awards aired on ABC at the same time that night.
However, "NCIS: LA" fans would be very happy to know that the series' creators have officially announced the return of its next episode this coming Sunday, February 16. The show's Episode 14 of Season 11 will be called Commitment Issues.
