Over the past few months, all fans of NCIS: L.A. did not see very much of "Hetty" (played by Linda Hunt), who's still one of the show's most popular characters after playing her role for almost 12 years. Linda Hunt was actually in a car accident and had to recuperate, which is why her character was missing from most of season 11.

"'Hetty' is a very mysterious character. Sometimes we find out what she's been doing - sometimes we don't. Fans have gotten used to the idea that she's not always there; people have gotten used to the idea that 'Hetty' could be doing lots of interesting and complex stuff all over the world."
First, it will have to be established how and when production of a new season can start, since the COVID-19 pandemic has caused TV and movie shoots to be put on hold indefinitely. As fans will know, the 17th season of NCIS had to be cut short because of the coronavirus as well...
