In an interview with TVLine , the series creator Chris Carter revealed that Doggett was originally going to appear in an early episode of Season 11.“I actually wrote him into an episode,” Carter explained. “But then I found out he wasn’t going to be available to us [because of Scorpion] so I had to write him out of the episode… Scorpion is his first priority.”Carter then teased fans by adding “That’s not to say you won’t see him this season…”Patrick is also on board to step back into the role, according to TVLine and has confirmed that conflicting schedules with his TV drama Scorpion were what kept him from reappearing earlier.Given the events in season 10 with his former partner, seeing Doggett return would make sense. Carter and the cast have teased plenty about what's to come for the X-Files and Fox head David Madden has also given some insight into what you can expect in season 11
