Here's the Scoop...

Remember the hit CBS series 'JAG'? Well, series star Catherine Bell will reprise her JAG character on NCIS: Los Angeles?

Elliott will first appear in the May 12 episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, with Bell to return in the Season 10 finale, which airs May 19.

"Not only is great to be working together 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," he added. "It feels like everything has come full circle."

Bell had teased her return in an Instagram post Monday.

"Tired but so happy. What an amazing day on set. Can't WAIT to share what I'm doing .... and the people I'm working with," she wrote.

Deadline said Bell and Elliott are also expected to appear in the first two episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles Season 11, although the show has yet to be officially renewed. The pair's return has let to speculation of a JAG reboot or revival.

That's cool! I think I'll tune in for that! Bring it on, NCIS: Los Angeles.

Be Well,
Steve
