Ray Romano will reprise his role as Hank during Season 5 of Parenthood on NBC.

The three-time Emmy winner will appear in 12-15 episodes of the coming season, which is about how often he appeared in Parenthood Season 4. However, that season was only 15 episodes long.

Parenthood earned a full 22-episode order this coming season, so Ray will recur.

At the end of Season 4, Romano's Hank had invited Lauren Graham’s Sarah to move with him to Minnesota, right as she broke things off with Jason Ritter's Mark. Sarah's response was ... TBD.

Are you excited to see Hank return? And what do you think will happen?
