Hunt has portrayed Henrietta Lange since the first season ofNCIS: Los Angelesin 2009.

After 12 seasons, the now-77-year-old Oscar-winner’s role was reduced in season 13 amid COVID-19 precautions.

But in typical Hetty fashion, no one knows what she’s quite up to at the moment.

“As Callen starts thinking about his upcoming wedding to Anna, he would want Hetty present.

The goal is to make it happen this season.”

Well, hopefully Hetty shows up in time for themassiveNCIS-verse crossover airing in January.

NCIS: Los Angelesairs on CBS Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
