Daniela Ruah is preparing for the finale of NCIS: Los Angeles, which will air after 14 years on the air, and while it hasn’t yet aired, she is already reminiscing about her final days on set.
The actress has played Kensi Blye on the popular NCIS spin-off – the franchise’s first and longest-running – since its inception in 2009.
As the cast, crew, and fans prepare to bid farewell to the beloved NBC series, the star shared a behind-the-scenes look at the emotional final episodes with fans.
Daniela took to Instagram on Sunday, ahead of a new NCIS: Los Angeles episode, the 17th of season 14, “Maybe Today,” to honor the episode’s director, one of her “favorite hoomans,” Eric A. Pot.
She shared a slew of photos from the finished product as well as the making of, including on-set moments with on-screen husband Eric Christian Olsen, a tender moment with the episode’s director, also Eric, and an intense video of her in action, rolling in the grass under a clothesline and shooting a gun.
“One of my fave hoomans Eric A. Pot directed tonight’s episode of @ncisla,” she captioned, adding, “We may be done shooting but we still have a few left to share with ya.”
“Enjoy a little #bts,” she continued, adding, “Miss this incredible crew already!” before joking, “PS I took that sweater home!”
Fans expressed their sadness in the comments section, writing: “It’s just so hard to accept that I won’t be seeing #NCISLA on Sunday nights,” and: “It must feel very strange after 14 years with the cast & crew to know it’s over, but it has been an incredible high quality show,” as well as: “I will so miss NCIS: LA and all of you that are on the show.”
NCIS: LA will air a two-part finale in May, the penultimate episode on May 14 and the final episode on May 21, with the latter also featuring a finale send-off to air right after the final episode.
The one-hour farewell special, titled A Salute to NCIS: Los Angeles, will air at 10 p.m. EST and will be hosted by Kevin Frazier, who is best known for co-hosting Entertainment Tonight. It will include both old and new interviews with cast members, as well as plenty of behind-the-scenes footage from the previous 14 years.
