Bobby To Return For Supernatural Season 11

While a brief cameo in Season 10’s “Inside Man” was a welcome surprise, TVLive has confirmed that Jim Beaver (Bobby) will reprise his role as the expert demon hunter in season 11.

Rather than appearing as a ghost, as other ex-Supernatural characters tend to do, Bobby will be incorporated into the story arc of episode 16 via flashbacks and he’s bringing along an old friend for the ride.  Executive Producer Jeremy Carver revealed that “Dean and Sam are going to be investigating an old case that was once investigated by Bobby and Rufus. There are a lot of great throwbacks to things that happened” during that season, the EP continues, including “the wonderful relationship between Bobby and Rufus. That’s going to be a really neat episode”.

Supernatural returns on the airwaves for another bout of monster-hunting escapades on Wednesday, January 20.
