“The X-Files” Returns to Fox

Mar 24 2015

Emmy Award-winning Pop Culture Phenomenon From Chris Carter Is Back as Six-Episode Event Series ... David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to Reprise Their Roles as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully

Thirteen years after the original series run, FOX has ordered the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, six-episode event series which will be helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.

The announcement was made today by Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group and Chris Carter, creator and executive producer of THE X-FILES. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015. Further details remain under wraps and will be announced at a later date.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

1. YAAAAAY!!!

I just started Season 1 a few days ago!

[Takket]

2. loved the concept of that show but it was way too gross for me...

there was some episode where there were bugs everywhere.... blech.... i'll give the new one a shot and probably be grossed out 15 minutes in lol

[fasttense]

19. You live in a world populated by an endless variety of insects

how can you avoid them all? Really, I'm just wondering. My daughter is like you and hates all things buggy.

I kinda think bugs are neat in their own way. For the longest time, I thought this weevil type bug was eating up my garden. I looked it up and found it was the lady bug larva. Who knew the lady bug immature phase is a red and black dragon with horns, (on a very small scale). Then there were these huge maggots I would find in among the manure and wood chips piles. I mean these maggots could have been the caterpillars for Mothra. But they turned out to be dung beetle larva. Then there are these fly maggots that can compost everything from crap to tomatoes and then can feed your chickens when they are done.

Ok, so I'm starting to realize why my daughter has a bug phobia.

3. I LOVE THAT SHOW!

5. Cool

It will be interesting to watch Duchovny as Fox Mulder again after watching him over the years in Californication. I think I'll subconsciously be expecting him to hit on every woman he encounters, including Agent Scully.

[SamKnause]

6. I'll be watching.

7. Neato.

I love Duchovny. As Hank in Californication I think he was living the life he would have lived if he hadn't gone to Hollywood--English professor who hits on his students. He was working on a Ph.D. in English and then went to Hollywood and hit the big time. Very intelligent man who no doubt has women crawling all over him.

We never got to see Mulder and Scully do any kissyface--the first movie had a wasp or something getting between them.

[azurnoir]

12. The second X-files movie "I want to believe" did have them doing kissyface

and in bed too if I remember

[Manifestor_of_Light]

13. I didn't see it.

I went to see it and since nobody showed up, we were a bit late, but not too late to see the movie since you got 15 minutes of previews anyway.

So in this little town they canceled it and shoved us into "The Dark Knight". I was appalled at what a waste of time that was. That was the kind of movie I call "Explosions and Shit". Nothing but violence and threats of violence. No human interaction. The women were killed off quickly.

So I never saw the second X-files movie.

[azurnoir]

10. Oh, that will be great

[Cleita]

11. I have the whole series on DVD, but aren't Mulder and Scully close

to being grandparents now?

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I will never forget watching an episode during a raging thunderstorm.

I was home on maternity leave with my first child (1997) and catching up on recorded episodes on my VCR in the afternoons. My son pretty much spent the first four weeks of his life in my arms in a rocker recliner in the family room. Right as some god-awful being arose from a bathtub of blood a monstrous crack of thunder rocked the house and the power went out. Shrieked, jumped out of the recliner, and started to cry. Damn near dropped the baby. I still have flashbacks of that darned episode. LOL!

[MosheFeingold]

16. I used to love that show

Happy it is back.

[MynameisBlarney]

17. Ah yes...the X-Files.

The only show I ever made sure that I was home in time to watch each and every episode.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. I heard a rumor of this a while back, I'm excited.

Will Cigarette Smoking Man be replaced by Heavily Vaping Man? Only time will tell....

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. I loved the show but

I admit I am open and agnostic when it comes to believing alien life has and continues to visit our little blue planet. There are too many unexplained events to dismiss that idea outright. As recent as the lights over Phoenix, or many crop circles that were produced overnight and just could not have been created by humans that fast makes me go hmmmm.

The "but" is that I started suspecting that this show was like a way to water down and confuse those that actually want answers to those unanswered events. By making the show about every crazy bizarre odd ideas from telepathy, bugs, you name it, it had the effect of marginalizing anyone who still questioned the government's official position (of ridiculing anyone who believed otherwise) into a group that also believed all these other weird tales from the crypt, the full assortment of whacky aliens and monsters that the X-files trotted out week after week, as entertainment. That if you still believed in UFOs and alien visitations after 3 seasons of X-files, then you also believed in every show idea on that program as well. Thus...if you still believe in a government coverup...you crazy boy!

That "I Want To Believe" poster in Mulder's office was a clue. It was a nice little suggestive hint every week to be reminded that you might just be believing in anything extraterrestrial because you "want to".

21. And after I just got used to seeing Gillian as the detective in The Fall. /nt
