The singer's cameo in the US sitcom was praised by critics after her episode aired last month. It was watched by 10.6 million viewers, an increase of almost 2 million on this season's average ratings.
A recent report claimed that show chiefs are keen for Spears to reprise her role as receptionist Abby on the programme.
"We always said, 'You know, if her character pops, we'll bring her back,'" Bays told the Associated Press. "I thought she was great. I was very proud of that episode."
Asked about what it was like to have Britney on set, he explained: "It was totally weird. I think we have a very, like, kind of Midwestern homey vibe here on the show, and it was strange to suddenly have helicopters circling."
On the likelihood of Spears returning, he said: "I don't know. I don't know the answer to that."
