Thanks to Matt63 for the heads up.
When queried about the writers and producers that could join his team, Carter confirms that Glen Morgan will be coming back in a productorial position. "We've lured Darin Morgan and Jim Wong, we're very excited about that and we're working on the rest." He adds. Hopefully we can get a confirmation on Frank Spotnitz soon enough. Chris Carter also mentions that there will be a nice mix of mythology and stand alone episodes.
Carter also clarifies that while he thinks that IDW's The X-Files: Season 10 plot lines are very interesting, they won't be used in the revival of the TV show.
Q: We already know that Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are set to go, but who else will be back?
A: "I have ideas for everyone," he explains at my mention of the possibility of having Mitch Pileggi, Annabeth Gish, and Robert Patrick reprise their iconic roles. "Their availability is subject to their regular paying jobs. Of course, I'd like to bring everyone possible back, but it's who's going to fit into the story and who's available."
Q: Where do we land? Are we going to have a time jump? Are we going to address the 2012 deadline? And what about William?
A: "I've thought about that," he says referring to the colonization date. "I don't know exactly how I'm going to address it, in a big way, a mild way, a modern way, a mention or a plot point." Then he adds, "And of course you can't avoid to deal with the William (arc) in some way or another."

The six-episode series will film this summer with a premiere date to be announced at a later date.
"I know what I want to do, how I want it to lay out—the balance of mythology to stand-alone episodes," Carter said. And for fans who didn't obsessively watch all nine seasons of the show, you will be able to jump into the world of Mulder, Scully and their paranormal investigations when the new episodes premiere.
"It'll be honest to the characters, and what happened to them since the series ended and the second movie," Carter said.
