Jake Abel Returns As Sam & Dean's Other Brother Adam on 'Supernatural' Tonight

Adam Milligan is back and bringing some drama to Sam and Dean’s lives on tonight’s mid-season finale of Supernatural!

Jake Abel, who stars as Adam, told TVLine that bringing back the character at almost the last minute is worth it.

“I was hearing that they would bring so many people back from Hell, back from the dead, back from wherever they may be, but poor Adam was always forgotten. In some ways, I think maybe the delayed gratification will pay off,” he says. “It’s fitting that Adam was introduced in the “Jump the Shark” episode [as] this long-lost third brother, and then to sort of do it again on the final season, it’s much more poetic than coming back at mid-series run. It’s much more dramatic to come back at the very end. So I think it was worth the wait.

In “Our Father, Who Aren’t in Heaven”, Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel’s (Misha Collins) continued search for a way to defeat Chuck (Rob Benedict) leads them to unexpected places and toward unlikely allies.

Supernatural‘s mid season finale airs TONIGHT, December 12th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
