Is the truth still out there? At today’s FOX portion of the TCA Winter press tour, FOX chairman and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman confirmed that they’ve been having talks with Chris Carter, the creator of The X-Files, about reviving the series.
The show helped establish the network in its original run from 1993 until 2002. Also, The X-Files was produced by 20th Century Fox which Walden and Newman ran before moving to the network. If the project goes forward, they hope to have original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise their original roles.
Walden noted, “Gary and I both worked [at 20th] through the entire run of The X-Files. It was a great experience. We’ve maintained good relationships with Chris, David and Gillian. We’re very hopeful, but it’s hard. The actors are very busy. They have a lot going on. Chris has a lot on his plate, so it’s just trying to carve out the time.”
What do you think? Would you like to see The X-Files return to television as a limited or regular series? Would

ABSOLUTELY!!!
Be great, only if they do it to honor the original w/o making it into a joke like they tend to do with remakes. Either do it correctly like the original or not at all. Any other way is only an insult!
Early on it was good, but towards the latter seasons it struggled. There’s only so much weirdness a show can do before it goes downhill, which is what happened to the X-files.
And most of the UFO have now been declassified and publically available.
OH !! Yeah!! I love X-Files, it will be great to have a new X-Files even if without Scully and Mulder. Lets give new talents a chance. For now I will keep watching them in Netflix and cable.
Yes I would be über happy! I grew up with The X-Files… It’s more than a show to me, it’s a big part of my life
Bring it back, I watched every show, do a full season.
Please, please, please bring this stuff back . I have seen every episode ten times each but something new would be awesome. Also bring back Robert Patrick and a
annabeth gish
why? the last few seasons stunk.
NO! You can’t recapture the original feeling and the actors were pivotal to the success. I think remaking something as ground-breaking as the X-Files is the final nail in the coffin. I’m still trying to understand why a remake of Hawaii Five O was necessary.
Hello, it would be a revival not a remake… So Mulder and Scully would certainly at least appear in it. I would love a closure to the show, to see what happened in William’s life and how the alien invasion can be stopped…
I would LOVE it if the X Files came back ! It would be great to get the original stars, but if not, everything would depend on the chemistry between the two stars they picked for the leads….but yes, it was one of my favorite shows always ! It would really have to be done right and hopefully with the original directors etc…
It would be great to have the x-files back on tv. Bring back Dana & fox would be awesome. Hope it works out for everyone.
MAKE MY DAY! I still watch ‘re-runs. I agree they have gotten older BUT makeup and the GREAT ACTORS they are would carry it off and AWAY WE GO!
That would be great the see the X-Files revived. David Duchovny would be crazy not to take that opportunity for that role. I watched californication before. The shows OK but not that great. David would be taking a giant step foreword by going back to the X-files. What’s Gilligan Anderson up to now? I haven’t seen her doing much lately.
YES!!!!
OMG-Bring it back!
Please bring Scully and Mulder.. Watched the X-files over Thanksgiving 2014.
