David Duchovny, left, and Gillian Anderson are shown in a scene from, "The X-Files: I Want to Believe."
The truth is still out there and "The X-Files" is back to expose it.
That's
right, it's official: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are suiting
up once again as Mulder and Scully 13 years after the series ended for a
new season of the Fox franchise. Mulder will yell "Scully!" once again
on your television and Scully will exclaim "Oh my god" and everything
will be right in the TV world.
Series creator Chris Carter is on board to helm the "six episode event series," Fox officially announced.
"I
think of it as a 13-year commercial break," Carter said in a statement.
"The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a
perfect time to tell these six stories."
The series is set to begin production this summer with a premiere date to be determined.
"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," Fox's Gary Newman and
Dana Walden said in a statement. "'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."
Chatter
of an "X-Files" revival started gaining steam in early 2015 when Fox
bosses confirmed they had started conversations about bringing back the
beloved series that ran for nine seasons from 1993-2002 and spawned two
movies.
