Summary
- Emily Wickersham, who played Ellie Bishop, is returning to NCIS.
- She left NCIS in season 18, with her exit being a cover for a mission.
- Wickersham took a break from acting after NCIS for personal milestones.
Actress Emily Wickersham, who portrayed Eleanor "Ellie" Bishop for eight seasons on NCIS, is making a return to the franchise. Wickersham initially left the series at the conclusion of season 18 in May 2021. Her character's departure was part of a complex storyline where a leaked classified document confession served as a ruse for Bishop to go deep undercover.
Following her exit from NCIS, Wickersham took a hiatus from acting. This period allowed her to focus on personal developments, including the birth of her two sons, Cassius in 2021 and Zephyr in 2024. She also married fellow actor James Badge Dale on September 27, 2024.
Wickersham has recently reprised her role on NCIS, appearing in season 23. She is scheduled to appear again on October 27th in an episode of NCIS: Origins. While not a permanent cast member again, Wickersham has expressed openness to returning for future episodes.
