Rumors are swirling in the NCIS fandom that Pauley Perrette could return as Abby Sciuto in the upcoming spinoff starring fan-favorite duo Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. While nothing has been officially confirmed, recent buzz and fan speculation suggest that a reunion may be in the works — and longtime viewers couldn’t be more excited.

Abby, the quirky forensic scientist known for her gothic style and brilliant mind, was a core part of the original NCIS for over 15 seasons. Her exit in 2018 left many fans heartbroken, but her close connection to both Tony and Ziva makes a return seem both possible and meaningful for the storyline.

The new spinoff is expected to follow Tony and Ziva on international missions while raising their daughter. Adding Abby to the mix could bring a nostalgic spark and deepen the emotional ties among characters. With the NCIS universe evolving rapidly, this could be the perfect time to bring back a beloved original.

Whether it’s a full-time return or a surprise cameo, the idea of Abby stepping back into the lab — or into Tony and Ziva’s world — has reignited fan enthusiasm. All eyes are now on CBS for confirmation.
