HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - "X" still marks the spot for Lucy Lawless, whose hit series "Xena: Warrior Princess" ended its run this summer.

The actress has now signed on for a multi-episode gig on the upcoming season of "The X-Files (news - Y! TV)." She is set to appear on the show's first two episodes. There's a chance she could do more episodes, though nothing's been decided yet.

The show's season premiere is Nov. 4. Details regarding the Lawless character are being kept under wraps.

"We're thrilled to have an opportunity to work with Lucy, whose work we've admired for a long time," said "X-Files" executive producer Frank Spotnitz. "We think we've found an interesting and unexpected way to have her join the family."
