Former NCIS co-stars Brian Dietzen and Pauley Perrette just offered fans an inside look at their reunion.
Dietzen took to Instagram on Sunday, June 7, to reveal that he and Perrette, who appeared on 15 seasons of NCIS together as Dr. Jimmy Palmer and Abby Sciuto, respectively, had reunited for not one, but two concerts that week.
“Got to see @ellavos, @tinangelband and @cloverlin07 at @thehotelcafe and hang with @thepauleyp. That’s two shows we saw together in a week!” Dietzen, 48, wrote in the caption of his social media post, which featured Perrette, 57, rocking multicolored hair and pointing at his face. “Music is the best. So are good friends.” (See the post below.)
NCIS fans were thrilled to see the two back together again, with one commenter writing, “Great to see Pauley!!! We miss her!!!” Another added, “Omg love this so much!! So good to see Pauley,” as a third chimed in, “ABBY!!!! God how i miss her face!!! I loved everything about her and all she brought to the show! We need a guest appearance!!!”
Dietzen and Perrette both appeared in the original cast of NCIS, with Perrette exiting the series at the end of Season 15 in 2018. She went on to star in CBS‘ short-lived sitcomBroke, which aired for one season in 2020 before Perrette announced she was retiring from acting entirely.
“At this point in my life I have this deep need to find authenticity in everything,” she told Hello! in October 2024. “Being an actor, especially at certain points in my life, was a great escape; it’s like a drug because I didn’t have to be me, I could be somebody else. My character didn’t have all of the problems that I was having. It’s why I only watch documentaries. I want the truth. For me, going back to being an actor would be taking away from this life of true authenticity that I’m living 100% of the time.”
Dietzen is still a major part of the NCIS world, both starring in and writing for the series.
