Following a car accident in 2018, Hunt was left injured and so had to take a leave of absence from work.
In a statement to TV Line, Hunt said: “I first want to say how much I appreciate the outpouring of support from the NCIS: Los Angeles fans following my car accident this summer.
“Though I had hoped to return to playing Hetty at the start of the season, I had to take some additional time to recover.
I look forward to returning later this season.”
While Hetty did make a comeback, could the accident have made Hunt realise its time to say goodbye for good?
NCIS Los Angeles is available to watch on CBS.
