Jim Beaver has announced he will return to Supernatural in the much loved role of Bobby Singer.

In a program where the death of your character hardly means your full time removal from the show, Beaver returned for last season's episode "Taxi Driver." Now he is set to bring the baseball cap-wearing hunter back at some point in Season 9.

"Try not to get excited, but I'm coming back to SUPERNATURAL. For real," Beaver tweeted late on Monday night.

When Beaver originally tweeted the news, he had no idea how his character would fit back into the Supernatural world now that Bobby is in heaven with no corporeal body to come back to. 

"Don't know how or why, but I know when. Once I've read the script, I'll know how & why. But you won't. :-) #Bobbysback," Beaver tweeted.

Once he finished going through the script, Beaver announced that his return would be something fans would never expect.  

"Read the script. Didn't see this one coming. Whatever you think it is -- it ain't. #Bobbysback," wrote Beaver.

While there are no details concerning how Bobby will make another appearance, there is some speculation, a popular idea being that the former hunter will work to take down Metatron from within heaven itself. However, this is only a fan created idea and not confirmed by any one related to the show.
