The X-Files wrapped its revival on FOX on Monday night, and now some fans are wondering if there is a spin-off in the works.
The last two episodes of the revival introduced a new pair of agents that were very similar to Mulder and Scully at the start of the FOX series, but could these two characters help FOX launch a new X-Files?
Chris Carter addressed that question in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and a spin-off is not in the works at this time. He said:
“I really love those guys. They’re terrific actors, and excellent to work with. It would be nice to include them. But, at the same time, we didn’t make series deals with them. I can’t imagine they’re not going to be scooped up and be somewhat unavailable to us. It will just be practical about how we’re able to work with them in the future.”
Carter has made it clear that FOX wants more from The X-Files, and he said Duchovny is up for more, and Anderson might be up for more. It becomes a matter of fitting time to produce another season that is the issue.

I feel they were a little too similar to Mulder and Scully for it to feel like anything but an attempt to replace the characters we truly want to see.
I’d be up for a spin-off centered on new agents trying to make a mark in the political nightmare that the X-Files has always established, of trying to be relevant while trying to develop and grasp their own moral codes and such, but I’d rather it not be done in a way that paints them as “almost-Mulder and almost-Scully”.
I thought it was GREAT! More!!!
AFTER thinking abt it not a spin off but keep the original cast and keep the storylines tight like the last one !
Yes,Yes,Yes. I want more.
sure, why not? They’re lot’s of fun, but not as good as the old series.
No, no spin-off but Mulder and Scully in a new season. Without them, don’t bother.
Feel the same! Stick with the original cast.
Yes of course!
