After many years away, The X-Files has returned to television as a limited series. The show was very popular in the 1990s but the series’ ratings saw big drops at the end of its original run. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding The X-Files’ return and all involved say they’d be interested in producing an 11th season at some point. But, will the audience and the FOX network be interested? Stay tuned.
The series takes place 14 years after the closure of the original X-Files. FBI special agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is contacted by his former partner, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) at the behest of Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). He wants them to meet a right-wing webcaster (Joel McHale). This leads them to new information and Mulder begins to doubt what hes believed for so very long. The rest of the cast includes William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Sheila Larken.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like The X-Files TV show? Do you think it should return for an 11th season?
Bring it on. I believe
I BELIEVE in the X-Files!
i love x files and i am wating for its new series after feb . its amazing show for alien lovers and who want answers about ufo cases and god .
I hope the network decides to do an 11th season of the X-Files! I have always been a big fan of that show and was very happy when they brought the actors back for the mini series! I loved it! I know a lot of fans who did! It did well in the ratings overall! The actors seem open to the idea of doing one more season too! I hope it happens!
Hugely disappointed in this mini-series. Poorly acted, ridiculous story line, couldn’t wade through it. They should have left well enough alone! Sticking to the original series.
After the racist, anti-Muslim episode I stop watching it. I hope it won’t continue.
The new series was good, you need to more realistic in some of the smaller scenes (like them getting through a traffic jam at rush hour. Also the fact that society is supposedly collapsing and there is no rioting or looting. Yes there should be a season 11 but keep an eye on the smaller things as well as all the wonderful work done on the bigger scenes, the best clearly being the alien space craft crash site. This was better than some scenes in the new Star Wars. Well done to everyone who worked on that scene.
What the hell are you people thinking? You’ll have dozens of idiotic people on “un”reality shows, but you have just enough episodes of one of the best series to get us interested just to stop. Wake the hell up and be leaders, not followers of the other networks.
Idiots people want followup FOX – the season was 1 too short 2 people want Mytharc – when will Fox get that??????????? If a real whole season intermittent silliness – great but people want to know what happened to William what happened with the Aliens? I mean cmon thats why the 2nd movie didn’t go over as much it was good but well that just my thoughts – FOX better not leave us all hanging or pass it on to NETFLIX or Amazon to get the job done right I think introducing the other team is great. Fox was lame… Read more »
I believe that my life is better for watching The X Files, please don’t stop we all need to believe.
Please please renew we need to believe
Please renew – love mulder and scully!
The season was not as satisfying as I had hoped. Maybe I am older, maybe the show is stale and running out of ideas, maybe some other reason. The real-life/real time events in the finale were too unbelievable: driving rhrough DC traffic jam (not possible), tbeing able to do PCR and produce a vaccine in next to no time (much more time required, I’ve done the science) and no rioting as society collapses (unlikely). What made the X-Files good was taking unbelievable stories and explaining them with real life, real time science, even if sometimes it were a stretch. But… Read more »
Loved it, will watch it forever, watched it faithfully before, please don’t cancel
