Pileggi only appeared on one episode of the series, In the Beginning in Season 4, a flashback episode where Castiel (Misha Collins) sends Dean (Jensen Ackles) back to 1973 where he meets his grandfather, Samuel Campbell. Here's what the site had to say about Pileggi's return.

"Sources confirm to me exclusively that X-Files vet Mitch Pileggi is in talks to reprise his role as Sam and Dean's presumed-dead grandpa on a potentially recurring basis.

Nothing has been confirmed by the network as of yet but we'll be sure to keep you posted on any further details about Mitch Pileggi returning to Supernatural as soon as we have more information.
