Alona Tal Returning as Jo Harvelle in SUPERNATURAL Season Seven

The Powers actress has been said to be reprising her role as Jo Harvelle in the upcoming seventh season of the CW drama.

The series follows Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to the one thing that runs through both their veins − hunting monsters. Over the past few seasons, Dean and Sam faced insurmountable obstacles. The power struggle between good and evil has raged on, with the new King of Hell, Crowley, ultimately emerging as their adversary. Shockingly, Crowley had made a secret deal with Sam and Dean’s closest friend, the angel Castiel, who is now a desperate freedom fighter on the losing side of a post-Apocalyptic civil war in Heaven; together, the uneasy allies sought to open a door to Purgatory, where a great untapped well of souls lie waiting to be used as the ultimate form of military power. Sam and Dean reeled from the betrayal by their friend — and raced to stop the angel and demon before they opened that dangerous, otherworldly door.

Season Seven
The Winchesters will find themselves in an increasingly sinister, changing landscape, up against a new foe unlike anything they’ve ever fought. They’ll find their old tricks, weapons and hiding places all rendered useless. All they’ll have is each other. And the certainty that, like the last of the cowboy outlaws, whatever they face, they’re not going down without a fight.

The actress hinted via twitter of her returning and TV Line's Michael Ausiello has also confirmed Jo's presence in the next season but no other details have been revealed as to how or why she's back.

Her last appearance in Supernatural was during the fifth season when Jo and her mother Ellen met their end when assisting Sam and Dean Winchester's attempt to destroy Lucifer. Alona Tal can also be seen as the character Zora in the upcoming FX series Powers which is based on the Eisner Award winning comic book series Powers by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins. Recurring appearances from Jim Beavers and Mark Sheppard. Created by Eric Kripke with executive producers McG, Robert Singer, Sera Gamble and Phil Sgriccia.
