The question of whether Pauley Perrette will return as Abby Sciuto to NCIS has been a topic of much speculation ever since her departure from the show in 2018. Fans have long adored Abby’s quirky personality and unmatched chemistry with her colleagues, especially her close bond with Gibbs (Mark Harmon). While Perrette has made it clear in previous interviews that she left the show to pursue other opportunities, there have been occasional hints or hopes from fans and cast members that Abby might one day return, even for a cameo or special episode.

However, Perrette’s return remains uncertain, especially considering the actor’s own personal and professional choices post-NCIS. She’s expressed a desire to move on from the role, citing her decision to step away as one rooted in her own growth and need for new challenges. While NCIS continues to thrive without Abby, the door seems closed for now regarding her return. Nevertheless, the possibility of a future reunion remains a subject of hope for many fans who continue to cherish Abby’s iconic presence on the show.
