The X-Files - Ordered to Series by FOX

“THE X-FILES” RETURNS TO FOX

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.”

“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of THE X-FILES – one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers – and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,” remarked Newman and Walden. “THE X-FILES was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as THE X-FILES, and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

    I caught some episodes here and there and watched the film but unfortunately, I never watched X-files in its entirety. I am looking forward to watching these six episodes having gained a new appreciation high for Gillian Anderson over the years since X-Files has ended.

    X-Files was my favourite show for a long time... I am not sure how I feel about this as the last few seasons were awful and the last film? Terrible. Still the potential is there and I know I am going to have to watch it regardless!

  10. maclives24 March 2015 at 16:57

    Awesome, here's hoping that it doesen't just stay at six episodes.

    And despite people disliking them: I'm kinda hoping for Dogget and Reyes to return. IMO they were likable and worked well with Scully and Mulder

    LOST can always be rebooted: a bunch of people (portrayed by former LOST alums) crash on an island. All have different personas than we knew them from (so it's accesible for new fans) slowly the group begins to realize that their memories aren't real, slowly revealing that it's still the same universe as the former LOST seasons meaning that the crash is happening again and again until they do as the island truly wants them to...


    ABC: Alias (Sidney is forced to team up with Sark since Michael and their kids were kidnapped by a mysterious goverment financed organization)


    CW: Buffy/Angel (Faith awakes from a coma only to realize that the "apocalypse" from Angels final episode ment that demons took over big industry heads and now are exploiting humans who think that they're living a normal life. Meanwhile Angel and Spike were memory wiped and humanized as well)


    CBS: Moonlight

    CBS could revive The Rockford Files or Magnum P.I.. They have a slew that they could revive.Not saying they should mine you!

  30. DarqueMode24 March 2015 at 17:51

    I can think of a handul of big-ish completed series for CBS, but all have issues...


    Duke of Hazard? Movie franchise exists already...
    Mission: Impossible? Movie franchise exists already...
    The Equalizer? Star is dead, but premise may work....


    Maybe...
    Simon & Simon? At least both leads are still alive. XD
    Rockford Files reboot? Bring back Josh Holloway!!

    Аlong with Twin Peaks, now there's two great clasics that are getting revived. I've tried watching them, but both left me a bit disappointed and it's really irritating that I want to watch the new seasons but not the old ones. I just can't get into them, as perfect and right for me as they sound.

  49. Max Conte24 March 2015 at 19:05

    An "event series", which is basically a fancy way of saying mini-series, yes.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Max Conte24 March 2015 at 19:07

    Alias would be a great event series for ABC. It finished out with low ratings, but it's been on Netflix and accumulated more viewers. Nostalgia works miracles sometimes.. and it's the kind of show that would generate a lot of hype and could work well as a single mini-series arc.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Max Conte24 March 2015 at 19:13

    ABC could also do an entire series with doctors who have left Grey's Anatomy. Starring Katherine Heigl, T.R Knight, Sandra Oh, Isaiah Washington, Chyler Leigh, Eric Dane, Jeffery Dean Morgan (when Izzie's tumor comes back), Kate Walsh, Brooke Smith, Kim Raver, Loretta Devine (when Richard's tumor comes back)..

    That's great to hear.


    You know, I would usually be bummed because of Sutherland not returning but after they released "Solitary" on the BluRay I'd actually root for a season about Tony breaking out of prison.


    I couldn't care less who returns (well obviously I'd love to have Chloe and Jack back) as long as they bring Tony back full-time. What purpose did it have to kill him, bring him back, kill him again, bring him back again only to then lock him up to never see him again?

    As soon as David Duchovny started scaling back his involvement, then the show went to Pot. For me the show always revolved around the settlement plan (with the Cigarette smoking man) and his rebels.

    Speaking of Cigarette Smoking man?

  85. Matthew25 March 2015 at 01:05

    Im excited and worried at the same time. Will they bring back in their son? Will their relationship be over? How much involvement will there be with the FBI ? (AND considering how much of the actual X files paperwork was destroyed in the fire).

    Skinner back? I had been thinking Kersh.

    Never a good idea to remake a series where the lead actor's personality was literally what the show was about! XD


    Frankly, even though I am one of the people more open to remakes and reboots, I am growing tired of all these recent shows being remade - Even something that was as great as The X-Files!

    It so strange to see X-Files on the current shows list under FOX. Although I love it, because x-files can finally be apart of the current spoiler-tv fun here, for shows airing currently now.

    I so want X-Files to win the tv show cup in the next 2 years. With the show airing again, it should make it further this time.
