While we're not sure what brings Brad back into the HIMYM fold, but viewers last saw the very muscular lawyer in season five when he went on a weird hockey date with Robin (Cobie Smulders) and possibly revealed he's transsexual.

"He revealed he may be a hermaphrodite 'cause he tells Robin, 'I'm a little different down there,' So maybe deeper into the mystery of what Brad is," Manganiello once told us of returning to the show. "We need to figure out what Brad is. We're figuring out who the mother is and what exactly Brad is. It's kind of the b-plot of the show, 'What is Brad?'"

CBS confirmed the very good news on Twitter, saying, "CASTING NEWS! @joemanganiello is coming back as Brad in the 7th and 8th episode this year."
