The X-Files: Haley Joel Osment Joins Season 11

Haley Joel Osment

His film career might not have taken the trajectory some suspected from his early work, but Haley Joel Osment continues to find solid employment, often on TV, including a recent stint on Silicon Valley. He's adding to that small screen roster with a role on the next run of The X-Files.

The next limited series run of the show – following the revival early last year – is scheduled to arrive in January. David Duchovny's Mulder and Gillian Anderson's Scully are naturally back, investigating more weirdness and unlocking more conspiracy mythology (though hopefully not to as annoying a degree as last time).

Fox has yet to reveal details on Osment's character, but according to Deadline, he'll feature heavily in the Skinner-focused episode, so could he be a family member for everyone's favourite Assistant Director, played by Mitch Pileggi?

Osment joins a guest cast that also includes William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose and Barbara Hershey.
