As we learned over the weekend, Fox is looking to bring “The X-Files” back for what is likely to be a revival miniseries, and their plan is for David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to reprise their iconic roles. That plan is coming to fruition, as Duchovny is all in. Read on!
In an interview with USA Today, the actor said that he’s “more than happy and excited to bring it back and do it again with (co-star) Gillian (Anderson) and (series creator) Chris (Carter),” a statement that comes in the wake of Anderson saying she’s on board if Duchovny is.
“I’m assuming that it will happen sooner rather than later now,” continued Duchovny. “We’ll see what form, how many (episodes). Certainly I can’t nor would I be interested in doing a full season. It will be in some kind of limited form. We’re all old; we don’t have the energy for a full season.”
Fox officials just confirmed to TV critics in California that the network wants to reboot the cult supernatural series. Fox Television Group Chairmen-CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman said they were in early talks with Carter.
“The X-Files” ran on Fox from 1993-2002. Duchovny played an agent who believes in the paranormal; Anderson was his partner, the skeptic Dana Scully. There have also been two movie spin-offs.
