Stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny will, of course, be back for the upcoming eleventh season of “The X-Files”, but who else will be returning along with them?
Annabeth Gish announced she will be returning alongside Mitch Pileggi (Shocker, Polaroid), who was recently announced to return as FBI assistant director Walter Skinner. Gish played Monica Reyes, while Pileggi played Skinner in the original series. Both reprised the role for the 2016 revival.
Season 11 will feature 10 brand new episodes.
On the writing staff, Chris Carter once again reunites with former producers Glen Morgan, Darin Morgan and James Wong. The quartet will be joined by relative newcomers Gabe Rotter (a writers assistant on Season 9), Benjamin Van Allen (a writers assistant on Season 10) and Brad Follmer (Carter’s personal assistant during Season 8 and 9).
Production on Season 11 begins later this summer ahead of an early 2018 launch.
