Pauley Perrette’s portrayal of Abby Sciuto on NCIS has left an indelible mark on fans, and recent developments suggest a potential return for the beloved character. Following Perrette’s departure from the series in 2018, her character was written out by relocating to the UK to establish a nonprofit in honor of MI6 Agent Clayton Reeves, who died protecting her. This exit left the door open for future appearances.
With the upcoming spinoff series NCIS: Tony & Ziva, which follows the characters Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David navigating Europe with their daughter, Tali, there’s speculation that Abby could make a return. The storyline’s European setting aligns with Abby’s established presence in the UK, making her involvement plausible. Additionally, Perrette has maintained positive relationships with her former co-stars, enhancing the possibility of her reprising the role .

However, Perrette has previously stated that she would “never return to acting,” citing personal reasons and past conflicts with co-star Mark Harmon. Despite this, CBS Studios President David Stapf has expressed openness to the idea, stating, “We love Pauley, and she’s always welcome in any of the NCIS franchise” .
While Abby’s return is not yet confirmed, the evolving narrative and the show’s willingness to welcome her back suggest that fans may yet see the forensic scientist reunite with her old team.
