Two and a Half Men executive producer Chuck Lorre has confirmed that Angus T Jones will return to the show this season.
The 19-year-old's future on Two and a Half Men was thrown into doubt in late 2012, when he branded the series "filth" in a church testimonial.
Jones later apologised for his remarks, but reports suggested that his character Jake Harper would likely be replaced by a teenage girl in season 11.
The sitcom's co-creator Lorre clarified at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival that Jones is still expected to appear in upcoming episodes.
"Angus is going to college in the fall, which is, I think, wonderful, which is appropriate, and he'll be on the show as available around his college schedule," Lorre explained.
He continued: "He's been on the show since [he was] 9 years old. He's 19. I think he should be able to do both.

"[He can] explore college at this point in his life and when he's on a break, we'll try and scoop him up and put him on the show every chance we get. He's a great kid. He's a great young man."
CBS announced on Monday (June 17) that Two and a Half Men will be a part of the Thursday comedy block with The Big Bang Theory, The Millers and The Crazy Ones.
