According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Matt Lauria has signed a deal to reprise the role of Ryan in Parenthood's fifth season. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Lauria's return:
Lauria’s specific episode count is not known, but word is the Friday Night Lights alum is currently on board for roughly half of Season 5′s 22 episodes.
Last month at the ATX Festival, Lauria expressed optimism that he’d be back as Ryan, telling TVLine’s Meg Masters, “We don’t know what the details are going to be, but [exec producer] Jason [Katims] recently asked me, ‘Are you up for it?’ and I told him, ‘I’m up for it!’ And since then, there have been some conversations.”
For his part, Katims told fans at PaleyFest earlier this year, “I absolutely loved the dynamic between [Amber and Ryan] and I would love to continue that storyline.”

My thoughts: I'm definitely excited that Matt Lauria will be returning for season 5 of Parenthood, and I'm especially excited about the fact that it sounds like he will be appearing in a large chunk of the fifth season. I really like Ryan, and I think he has a very interesting backstory that I think a lot of people can identify with. That being said, I'd like to make a bit of a side-note and mention that I'm really glad that they are also bringing Ray Ramano back next season.
Hank is perhaps my favorite out of all the love interests that Sarah has had throughout the show's run at this point, and I'm honestly starting to get a little tired of watching the revolving door of love interests for Sarah, which have unfortunately always been a big part of her storylines on the show. Don't get me wrong, I really like Jason Ritter and I did like the character Mark, but he always came across as someone who was better suited to not really be anything more than a guy that Sarah could simply have a casual fling with rather than be someone that she has a serious relationship with. I just always felt like the age difference between Sarah and Mark caused a lot of problems in their relationship, especially when it came to Amber and Drew. That being said, I really am excited for Parenthood's fifth season to start.
