Ahead of The X-Files returning for its eleventh season, the show has moved to bring in a longtime genre favourite in the form of Barbara Hershey.

Deadline broke the news, with Hersey to play the recurring role of Erika Price, described as “a powerful figure who represents a mysterious organisation.” Hersey is familiar to many genre fans for her starring role in 1982’s The Entity. Other notable credits including Black Swan, Once Upon a Time and the frankly-awful Damien, and more impressively the actress was nominated for an Oscar for 1997’s The Portrait of a Lady and won an Emmy for A Killing in a Small Town.

Already confirmed for Season 11 of The X-Files are Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny and Mitch Pileggi. The series is set to return to screens at a to-be-confirmed 2018 date.
