Jeffrey Dean Morgan has claimed that he is unlikely to return to Supernatural.

The Watchmen star played John Winchester - father of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) - on the CW drama from 2005 to 2008.

"It'd be fun to go back," he told Entertainment Weekly. "But I don't think it will ever happen."

Morgan added that he would be happy to reprise his role if he was approached.

"My stance always is, I would love to come back," he said. "In fact, they have trashed John so f**king much on that show that I would like to come back just to set the record straight the real way.

"I'm not that bad of a dad. I saved my kids. I went to hell to save my kids. How bad can I be, people? But there are a couple of storylines that I'd like to resolve and more importantly those people mean a lot to me."

Supernatural showrunner Sera Gamble has confirmed that both Jim Beaver (Bobby) and Misha Collins (Castiel) will return to the show later this season.

The paranormal drama is currently on hiatus and will return to The CW on March 16.
