Robert Patrick is interested in reprising the character of John Doggett during The X-Files season 11.
The X-Files season 11 premieres in 2018 on FOX.
Neither FOX or creator Chris Carter was prepared to let Mulder’s departure be the end of The X-Files, so an attempt was made to continue things by adding in a new partner for Scully: Special Agent John Doggett (Patrick).
In fact, Carter says that he actually wrote Doggett into an early episode of season 11, but changed plans after he learned that Patrick would be unavailable.
