Previously speaking about his stint on the show, Ackles said he wasn’t sure if his character would return for season four, but he’d be open to reprising the role.
“If there’s a contract in place and that’s where they tell me to go, that’s where I’m going,” Ackles said (via Entertainment Weekly). “But I had a great time there and if that was it, and they bring me back for a few episodes just to finish my story, or if they bring me back full time or they can easily get rid of me. one fell swoop with Jenny going: ‘Beau left, went back to Houston, and that’s it.’ Boom, moving on, season 4.
