Now that’s what you call an important guest star!
Just a few weeks after Supernatural executive producer Bob Singer said that in anticipation of the series’ 300th that fans should expect guest stars, it has been confirmed that Jeffrey Dean Morgan AKA Papa Winchester is back to celebrate the impressive milestone.
According to multiple outlets, Morgan, who starred as John Winchester, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) father will return to the show after more than a decade. Morgan appeared in season two as At the end of the season (2007) he died while saving Dean’s life.
“We’re incredibly excited to have Jeffrey back for this milestone episode, and think fans will love what we have planned for his character… and a few other surprise guest stars,” Supernatural executive producer Andrew Dabb said in a statement.
“We had a lot of talk about it, and we pretty much knew that we weren’t going to top the 200th with the music, so we decided to go in really a kind of different direction. The idea that we know that the bunker is in Lebanon, Kansas, but we’ve never been to Lebanon, Kansas, we don’t know how the people of the town react to our guys, so we’re going to see Lebanon for the first time and some of the people in it,” Singer teased. ”It’s a much more personal story, and kind of a more emotional story than 200th, so it’s a good deal different, but we’re really happy with it, and I think it’s gonna turn out great.”
Supernatural‘s 300th episode, “Lebanon” airs February 7 on the CW.
