Pauley Perrette, who portrayed Abby Sciuto on “NCIS” from 2003 to 2018, has made it clear that she does not intend to return to acting. In October 2024, she stated, “I want to be me all the time, and it takes a good amount of courage for me to say that to myself but it’s authentically how I feel.”
Perrette’s departure from “NCIS” was influenced by multiple factors, including reported workplace concerns and personal experiences on set. She has since focused on producing documentaries, seeking authenticity in her post-acting life.
Given her retirement from acting and the circumstances surrounding her departure, it appears unlikely that Abby Sciuto will return to “NCIS” in any capacity.
