After taking a TV season off, Perrette returned to CBS to star in Broke, a sitcom in which she played a single mom and bartender whose life is thrown upside-down when her sister (Natasha Leggero) and spoiled brother-in-law (Jaime Camil) move in with her. Perrette told TV Insider she considered retiring until she was offered the show.

"I wanted to do a comedy. Either that or retire," she said in February. Perrette later joked that she just wanted to "drink beer with my three dogs and watch television" after she left NCIS. "My family, friends, and pastor didn't think it was the best idea. I didn't even want to play a mom, but now Antonio is the center of my universe," Perrette said, referring to her Broke co-star Antonio Corbo. "He brightens my life!"

Broke was canceled after just a few episodes aired, and the finale aired in June. Afterward, Perrette told fans she was proud of the series but planned to retire. "I did my last dance & am proud of it," she wrote on July 7. "Everyone that knows me knew I was retiring right after. I'm proud of my work. I love you guys! I AM FREE!!! (To be the tiny little simple human I am!)"
