Speaking about wrapping filming on the series, LL Cool J, who has played Sam Hanna since the show began in 2009, told People: "You know, I mean, this is 14 years later," adding: "Normally they'll be like, 'All right, that's an episode wrap,' but this was an episode wrap, a show wrap and a series wrap.
