Luckily, Season 11 will have even more time to answer long-standing questions and stick to past continuity than there was in Season 10.
In fact, a trailer for Season 11 already revealed that one character with family connections who hasn’t been seen since the Season 9 finale will be back in the mix.
Given that we already know that much of the season will center on Mulder and Scully’s son, we can be sure that we’ll get some answers on the family front.
Chris Carter also told me about how returning to primetime back in 2016 with Season 10 enabled the X-Files team to really hit the ground running in Season 11 with a higher episode count, including one episode that will give an origin story to a certain character.
