Scott Bakula has revealed his feelings on NCIS: New Orleans getting cancelled.
It turns out the "Pride" actor was just as surprised as fans were when news broke of the cancellation back in February. Only two episodes remain and the finale will show on May 23.
Scott Bakula on the NCIS: New Orleans cancellation
Bakula, 66, spoke out on the sudden conclusion in a new interview with TV Insider. He said, "This being the last season, going out in the middle of a pandemic, I didn't think it was going to happen."
Bakula added, "I'm surprised the show was cancelled." The former Quantum Leap star also had a kind message for the fans, who he said have been "very supportive."
"They seem to have liked the show, they like the stories we told, the characters on the show, and that's why we do it.
"We do it because we want people to grow a relationship and attach and invite us into their homes and we don't take that lightly. I never have," Bakula continued.
"I honor them and we have always had had a great relationship and I look forward to continuing that in the future."
