There were few scenes featuring Hetty in season 11 as Hunt took a leave of absence in 2018 after being involved in a car accident.
But Executive producer Frank Military has said fans can expect more of the Operations Manager in season 12.
He told TV Guide: “I think we’ll probably see more of her than we have this season. She is very much the heart and soul.
“Hetty is a very mysterious character. Sometimes we find out what she’s been doing — sometimes we don’t.
“Fans have gotten used to the idea that she’s not always there, people have gotten used to the idea that Hetty could be doing lots of interesting and complex stuff all over the world.”
NCIS Los Angeles is available to watch on CBS.
