Peregrym first updated fans on her intentions to return to the screen in an Instagram post in July, where she announced Mela’s birth.
In part, she wrote, “@fbicbs is starting up again in a couple weeks, but I will be returning to work in September.”
“I’m relieved and grateful that I am afforded the space to bond with my family, to rest and heal and be a mother (which is harder than work!). I understand this is a luxury, and I wish every mother/parent/caretaker had this too,” she continued. “Thank you for all the love, prayers and support from this community.❤️”

Peregrym and husband Tom Oakley are also parents toson Otis, born as New York City shut down because of COVID-19 in March 2020.
Speaking to PEOPLE in April 2021, Peregrym discussed how she had “a lot of empathy” for first-time moms who were going through the same as her during that time.
“Any first-time mom going through this I have a lot of empathy for, because it’s already scary and you have no idea what you’re doing and then to not have the regular support,” she said at the time.
“They usually would be able to get together with other moms, with other children. I have a lot of space in my heart for [other new mothers]. When I see them in the street, I’m like, ‘How are you doing?’ "
