One of CBS’ longest-running scripted shows, "NCIS: Los Angeles", is coming to an end after 322 episodes. 

The show's current 14th season will be it's last, with the series finale premiering May 14 on the network and streaming live and on-demand on Paramount+.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" is the fifth longest-running CBS primetime scripted series ever, only behind "Gunsmoke", "Lassie", "CSI", and "Criminal Minds". 

The NCIS spinoff is also a rare long-running procedural drama to continue with its original leads, Chris O’Donnell and LL Cool J, staying for the entire run. Both have previously spoken about their commitment to the series, which hit the 300-episode milestone last May, and their fellow cast members.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" was the first spinoff from NCIS, now in its 20th season. It was followed by "NCIS: New Orleans", which ran for seven seasons, and "NCIS: Hawai’i", now in its second season.

Boosted by being part of the NCIS franchise, the series set a record for the quickest off-network syndication sale in fall 2009 when it was nabbed by USA Network for a massive $2.2M-$2.3M an episode just 6-7 weeks into its run. 

The series, created by Shane Brennan, has remained a money maker for CBS Studios with distribution in more than 200 countries and averaging 6.06 million viewers. It is the top scripted program in its Sunday 10 PM slot. 

"NCIS: Los Angeles" depicts the high-stakes world of a division of NCIS that is charged with apprehending dangerous and elusive criminals who pose a threat to the nation’s security. 

The series also stars Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Medalion Rahimi, Caleb Castille, and Gerald McRaney. 

R. Scott Gemmill, John P. Kousakis, Frank Military, Kyle Harimoto, Andrew Bartels, and Shane Brennan, who created the series all serve as executive producers.
