Longtime NCIS fans have been buzzing ever since news broke about the upcoming spinoff featuring beloved characters Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). As excitement builds, fans are speculating whether this new chapter could pave the way for a surprise return from another fan favorite: Abby Sciuto, played by Pauley Perrette.

Abby’s departure in Season 15 left a huge void in the series. Her quirky style and warm heart made her a standout, and many fans have hoped to see her back in the NCIS universe. With Tony and Ziva embarking on fresh adventures, the possibility of crossing paths with Abby—either for a quick cameo or a more substantial reunion—feels more real than ever.

Although there’s been no official confirmation yet, Michael Weatherly has hinted at major surprises in store for the spinoff. Could Abby be one of them? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: NCIS fans would love nothing more than to see their favorite forensic scientist back in action.
