NCIS: Los Angeles season 13 premiere: Could we expect a time jump?
We should note here, for starters, that nothing is 100% confirmed. With that being said, we’re in a position now where we strongly think that there will be some sort of jump forward. Why is that? There are a few pieces of evidence.
No enormous cliffhanger – A number of the major story threads from season 12 were tied together, so there’s not a real reason to show the immediate aftermath of Nell and Eric’s exit — unless you want to see the characters’ reactions to it a little bit more.
A chance to introduce new characters – We wouldn’t be shocked if at least one new person is brought in beyond Gerald McRaney’s promotion, and a time jump could be a chance to further introduce them. If the writers don’t do this, it could just give the characters an opportunity to settle into their roles.
The real-time format – More often than not, NCIS: LA is the sort of show that tends to be set in present-day. They do this mostly because it allows for the writers to do holiday-themed stories and feature things that viewers can directly relate to.
So while we are expecting a time jump, at the same time we hope it’s not one that completely washed the way the events of season 12 — there better still be mentions of Nell and Eric! We don’t want a situation where these two are more or less forgotten.
Hopefully, a formal premiere date for season 13 will be announced a little later this summer.
