The X-Files is returning to FOX for another 10-episode run that will premiere during the 2017-2018 season.  Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, along with series creator Chris Carter, are back for the second revival of the long-running show which originally went off the air in 2002.

The 2016 revival was spotty, to say the least.  One could only hope that this go-around produces better results.

13 years after signing off the air for the last time, and 7 years after their last big screen outing, The X-Files will be returning to FOX for a 6 episode run.  Series creator Chris Carter and original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are on board for the “event series”, which has yet to be scheduled but is due to shoot this summer.  No other details were made available at this time.

In a perfect world, the event series would be used as a springboard to reboot the show without Duchovny and Anderson, bringing in a new team of agents to explore the unexplainable.  Who knows if FOX, or Carter, is interested in that.
