NCIS Los Angeles fans were worried Nell Jones (played by Renee Felice Smith) had left the show for good in season 11. However, a new picture has confirmed she will be coming back - here’s
all fans need to know. WHEN WILL NELL JONES BE BACK ON NCIS LA? Towards the end of season 11 of NCIS Los Angeles, it seemed one of the major team members was gearing up to lead. Nell had
begun speaking openly to her colleagues about feeling she was burning out. Revealing she didn’t even want to get out of bed in the morning to go to work, it seemed like she was a breaking
point. This led her to have a conversation with Hetty Lange (Linda Hunt) about her future on the team. READ MORE: NCIS SEASON 18 THEORIES: GIBBS TO BE REPLACED BY TORRES AFTER CLUE However,
at the moment it is not quite clear what episode in season 12 fans will see Nell back. But given she is already filming, it is likely the analyst will be back pretty early on. The exact
reason for actor Renee Felice-Smith’s leave of absence from the show has not been confirmed yet. Back when the episode aired, TV Line did suggest it was to allow her to pursue other
projects. The publication confirmed the storyline was written to “free up Renee Felice Smith for an outside project." This is similar to what happened with Foa’s Eric Beale at the
beginning of season 11. His character was written out of several episodes to allow him to star in a play. Now season 12 is officially returning, there has also been some casting news. CBS
has confirmed Caleb Castille is joining the show as a new regular. He played FBI agent Devin Rountree at the end of season 11 and now he is joining the NCIS team full time. Filming has begun
and fans are hopeful for a release date in November 2020. _NCIS: LA IS AVAILABLE FOR CATCH-UP ON CBS ALL ACCESS._
