NEW YORK (MEDIA GENERAL) – “Trust no one.” The famous phrase from the X-Files is coming back.
Fox announced David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be back to star in a six-episode run of “The X-Files.”
Agents Mulder and Scully will be back starting this summer. The show’s creator, Chris Carter, said that he considers the show’s absence like a “13-year commercial break.” Carter said that “the good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger.”
Fox brought back “24” last spring as a limited episode series. NBC also plans to rerack a hit by bringing back “Heroes Reborn” as a miniseries next season.
“X-Files” had a nine-season history on Fox from 1993-2002. It even sparked two major motion pictures.
Variety reports that the episodes may spark renewed interest in the show from subscriber video on demand (SVOD) platforms since Fox used “24” to cut a deal with Amazon Prime.
“The X-Files” premiered on Fox in September 1993 and ran for nine seasons. Fox wasn’t releasing further details about the revived show.
Ha, I’ll be tuning in!
Good. More fodder for RiffTrax (aka new MST3k).
Should be interesting.
Fringe also had a basis in X-Files.
Good deal!
Duchovney will always be Fox Mulder and Gillian will always be Dana Scully
Wow Gillian Anderson still looks good, I remember having a crush on her in the 90s. Lol
X-Files was the most intense show of its time. This has since been surpassed by a handful of shows (Breaking Bad, for example).
But X-Files stands out as a show that wasn’t afraid to portray Christianity in a positive light (by agent Scully).
I will be watching.
David Duchovny, however, looks weird.
YES!!
One of the best shows on TV. I still have VIDEOTAPE of the show I bought way back when that I watch.
They predicted the 9/11 attack - at least the method. To be completely precise, it was an episode of ‘The Smoking Gun’.
They need to bring back all the old players too - Froehicke, etc.
Ok. I’m a sexist pig. I used to watch it for Gillian.
I will be amazed if this version doesn’t exploit Gillian Anderson’s bisexuality/lesbianism. Today’s producers would dare leave out homo affirmation.
Gillian Anderson...is a flaming leftist.
Same here...loved the X-Files!
Afterwards,the truth will still be out there!
yeah ... I know .... and I like to look at her and I like Dana ... it is what it is ........ she’s not a politician after my money or controlling my life
