Just as the cast and crew of
NCIS: New Orleanswere filming the current season s 13th episode this February, the team received some awful news: CBS had decided that season 7 would be the last for the crime series. It was painful, co-executive producer
Jan Nash told TV Insider. But it was a blessing to have enough time to make adjustments and a finale that feels very true to New Orleans.
According to Scott himself, bidding farewell to the series was a rather unique experience because of the ongoing pandemic. The last episode of a seven-year series has all kinds of light shining on it, he explained to the outlet. People gave speeches, bumped elbows. They had their masks on. It was bittersweet: We shot 16 episodes and are proud of the season, but it was goodbye and from a distance.
