What’s in store for the new season of The X-Files? Recently, creator Chris Carter spoke with TVLine about the FOX series’ upcoming 11th season.

Though little has been revealed about the upcoming season so far, creator Chris Carter has said it will focus on Mulder and Scully’s mysterious son, William. The returning cast includes  Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi, William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, and Dean Haglund.

In the interview, Carter said he thinks season 11 will be better than season 10 of The X-Files. The new season premieres on FOX on January 3rd at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

From Carter:

We [relaunched] from a standing start after not having been on the air for 12 years — there was some reacquainting that had to be achieved. It was like old friends getting back together. We had to shake some of the stiffness out. … I think that we’re all in fighting shape now.”
