Mitch Pileggi, who plays FBI honcho Walter Skinner on The X-Files, is officially back on the case for season 11.
The X-Files season 11, which begins filming later this summer, will consist of 10 episodes (four more than the season 10 revival) with a scheduled 2018 mid-season launch on FOX.
Getting Pileggi to come back for the 11th season of The X-Files was an essential move for show creator Chris Carter and the FOX network.
According to Deadline, Pileggi has become the first actor to sign up for the 11th season of The X-Files following the return of Duchovny and Anderson.
