Pauley Perrette’s NC/S character Abby Sciuto is a fan-favorite. Her role as a forensic scientist is easily in the top three most popular characters in the history of the CBS series, including spinoffs.

Perrette left the series back in 2018. However, just recently, some of the decision-makers at the network were asked if her iconic character could return. Moreover, could it be for anything from a cameo to her own spinoff? Here is what they had to say.

Pauley Perrette left her role as the punky, ultra-intelligent forensic scientist wiz Abby Sciuto at the end of NCIS Season 15? Is there any chance she could return? Maybe.

According to a recent Deadline interview with CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach, as well as CBS Studios President David Stapf about this possibility.

The question was posed asking whether or not they could bring Pauley Perrette to reprise her role as Abby Sciuto on NCIS or do a new show a la Tony and Ziva. Spaft responded to this question.

Now that Michael Weatherly has made a surprise appearance on NCIS, fans are curious if another fan-favorite alum will return to the show. Is Pauley Perrette coming back to NCIS? Keep reading to find out.
