Catherine Bell to Reprise her “Mac” Character on "NCIS: Los Angeles"

It’s a "JAG" reunion! "JAG" leading lady Catherine Bell is joining her co-star David James Elliott for a recurring stint on CBS’ "NCIS: Los Angeles".

The plan at the moment is for the duo to do a joint arc on "NCIS: LA" only. However, in the current environment when reboots are more popular than ever, their appearance together reprising their popular characters is raising speculation that, in success, it could potentially lead to some sort of a "JAG" revival/reboot.

Last week, CBS confirmed that Elliott would reprise his "JAG" character, Navy Captain Harmon Rabb Jr. in a multi-episode arc on "NCIS: Los Angeles", beginning with the May 12 episode.

Bell will reprise her "JAG" character, Lieutenant Colonel Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie. She’ll appear in the season finale episode airing on Sunday, May 19.

The arc involving the former "JAG" leading duo is said to span a total of four episodes, the last two this season and first two next season. (CBS is yet to renew its NCIS franchise but all three series are expected to return.)

It is the brainchild of "NCIS: Los Angeles" executive producer/showrunner R. Scott Gemmill who was a writer-producer on the first four seasons of "JAG".

“Catherine’s “Mac” was a strong, smart woman who held her own, and then some, in a male dominated world,” said Gemmill.

“Her character paved the way for other strong female leads. Not only is it great to be working together again as friends, but to be able to write for Catherine and have her same character interact with our NCIS: Los Angeles characters now, that’s wonderfully surreal. It feels like everything has come full circle.”

Mac is back — again — when Catherine Bell reprises her "JAG" role this spring on CBS’ "NCIS: Los Angeles".

“After 15 years I am putting the Marines uniform back on for another exciting episode of NCIS: LA!,” Bell shared on Instagram. “Mac is back!”

TVLine has exclusively learned that Bell’s next guest spot will air Sunday, April 19, when Mac asks Hetty’s NCIS team for help with a sensitive, ripped-from-the-headlines-ish case in which two SEALs have come forward to claim that their chief murdered an unarmed Taliban prisoner.
