Henrietta Lange, the character played by Linda Hunt on NCIS: Los Angeles, was absent from the season 14 premiere, leading to concerns among fans that the character might have died in Syria. However, the show’s executive producer R. Scott Gemmill has reassured viewers that Hetty will be back. In the previous season, Hetty was last heard of being in Syria, and in the season 14 premiere, a body with Hetty’s ID was found, but it was later revealed to be the body of a child, suggesting that Hetty faked her own death.

Linda Hunt has played Henrietta Lange since the first season of NCIS: Los Angeles and her character is known for taking in orphaned children and training them to become agents for the U.S. government. The role of the now-77-year-old Oscar winner was reduced in season 13 due to COVID-19 precautions. However, as Callen prepares to get married to Anna, there is no way Hetty would miss the event. Gemmill has said that Hetty is an important part of Callen’s past and that he wants her present at the wedding. The plan is to rescue her from Syria and find out what she’s been up to, but it is unclear when that will happen. The goal is to make it happen during this season, and hopefully, Hetty will show up in time for the NCIS-verse crossover airing in January.
