The X-Files will return to FOX in January. The six-episode revival will bring back Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, played by Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny. The revival of this popular FOX series has been hyped since earlier this year. Now, there are only three months left before the return.
Could fans see more of The X-Files after this revival wraps? Absolutely. If the viewership is there, FOX could want more, but Chris Carter would only bring more story to the small screen on one condition – his cast joins him.
He said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it all depended on the actors and their schedules.
He is excited for the return of this series, but it was a challenge for him. He spoke about the biggest challenge he faced in the interview.
“It’s a new thing, just doing six. It’ll be eight months of my life, where it used to be 11 and a half months to do 22 or 25 [episodes]. Once the negotiations were done, we had to get up and running quickly and hire people. I looked to hire people I worked with before, but over time many of them had moved up [from their original positions], so we hired some new people. You couldn’t put the band back together, perfectly … [but] it was good fortune we were able to hire the people we were.”
Will you be watching The X-Files when it returns in January? Tell us what you think.
When you have a close encounter yourself, it’s hard to contain what you feel.
We need to know the truth.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting need I say more!!!!!
CAN’T WAIT! IT SHOULD BE A GREAT RIDE!!
Will watch till my eyes bug out. LOVE X-FILES. Can’t wait until Jan. to see them..for the TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
YES, YES, YES!!!! I am so glad it is coming back. I hated it when it ended. Love that show.
I met Mitch P, David Duchovny and Nick L back in the day. Saw Gillian but never met her. David, Nick and Mitch still look awesome too.
I am.really excited to see the X-Files back on TV. It was my favorite.show on TV. Plus I got to meet Gillian Anderson when the show was first on. To me she is still a very beautiful woman.
I am a big fan. Of course I will watch, 3 months is nothing to wait, after soo many years waiting. The truth is still out there, but the waiting for Mulder and Scully is almost over. X-Files rules.
The X Files this was always the best show on the TV I’m so happy it’s coming back in January I just hope it comes back for more than six episodes it’s got to be a complete series and maybe even the second series for the whole season not just 6 episodes it’s an excellent show please bring it in for a full season.
Yes, I can’t wait. I’m counting down the days:)
