Supernatural Boss Addresses Crowley Return Possibility - Digital Spy

Note: This article contains spoilers for Supernatural season 15.

Supernatural has been bringing back classic characters for its final season, but what about Crowley?

The fan-favourite demon character – played by Mark Sheppard – appeared in around 70 episodes between 2009 and 2017 before he died in the season 12 finale.

Dead angels and demons end up in an afterlife void known as The Empty, but major characters such as Castiel and, more recently, Jack have been resurrected. So could the same happen with Crowley?

TVLine posed the question to showrunner Andrew Dabb, but he downplayed the possibility of a return and suggested that it wouldn't make sense creatively.

"Well, Crowley is kind of technically trapped in The Empty right now," he said. "As we know, The Empty is a character for us, someone with an agenda.

"So I would say there'd have to be a really good reason for The Empty to let Crowley wake up – and I don't know that reason has been presented quite yet."

One character who's definitely coming back is Uriel. Last week, star Misha Collins revealed that Robert Wisdom will be back in an upcoming episode.

"It was glorious, my friend," Wisdom said, replying to Collins' tweet. "The Legion of Angels, we're smiling. Always sending you my best, 'Cas'."

Supernatural season 15 airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW in the US. In the UK, the show airs on E4.
