I know the last few seasons and the second movie werent great, but I'd really love for this to happen. One of my all time favourite shows!

Thoughts?

TonyD79 · 18-01-2015 2:15pm

I wouldn't classify this as a reboot considering they are keeping the same cast.Fox are talking about a 24 style one off series event. They ruined the main storyline after the first film so don't know how this would work.

The Black Oil · 18-01-2015 4:39pm

Hmm, very mixed feelings on the possible revival. I'd love it to be great, but I think it could further taint the show's reputation. Sometimes these things are best left untouched. Knowing the fanbase I expect the usual Chris Carter haters to make their views known before any ink has dried on the scripts.

Everyone should listen to Gillian on the Nerdist podcast, though.

Also, if this goes ahead, we'll really miss the late Kim Manners.

icdg · 23-01-2015 11:44am

Seems to be a limited revival that is under consideration rather than a reboot. Just shows how much the word "reboot" is abused these days though.

don ramo · 24-03-2015 6:01pm

but only for 6 episodes,

still exciting

Agent Coulson · 24-03-2015 6:33pm

They should just do a mini series of three 90 minute episodes make it a special event over three nights.

Still looking forward to it whatever way they do it.

The Black Oil · 24-03-2015 8:09pm

Great. Now pick out something black and sexy and prepare to do some funky poaching.

Josey Wales · 24-03-2015 10:15pm

I'm so excited for this. I really hope they do a great job.

I interested to see how they fit it into the timeline. Will they ignore the last movie? The problem with the last movie (well one of them) is the fact that it basically ignored the series finale. I'd like to see that issue addressed.

The Black Oil · 24-03-2015 10:24pm

Well, there is the season 10 comic (not read it, but ugh), which is supposedly canon.

I'm sure they can easily cancel the validity of the comic's story. Just look what Disney did with the Star Wars universe.

If this series is a big success it might spur Fox into releasing the show on Bluray, which would be great.

The Black Oil · 24-03-2015 10:32pm

That'll come some day. Fox have never missed an opportunity to make $$$ from the show.

don ramo · 24-03-2015 10:59pm

been absolute years since i watched it, was planning on finally watching Sons of Anarchy, but really debating to give this a run through again now,

202 eps, ffs, i cant really remember it at all...i have the time but have no interest/desire in tearing into it at all, though i would like to see these new eps, hmm maybe watch the last 3 seasons?

This will fail cuz no one will be ready to watch it.

Maybe a big long hour or so recap show would suffice?

The Black Oil · 29-03-2015 10:34am

Talk that they're returning to Vancouver to shoot it. Hope that's the case.

Ready to watch but not expecting much.

icdg · 29-03-2015 12:00pm

It was a great show in its heyday - one of the things people remember about The Nineties. Unfortunately it ran for about three years too long and it became clear that the "myth-arc" was being made up as they went along rather than being planned with a beginning, middle, and end. Tied themselves in knots really.

Calibos · 29-03-2015 4:07pm

Lost...same
BSG...same

I never believe myth-arc BS'ing from script writers anymore

galljga1 · 29-03-2015 4:10pm

What about the end of Millennium?

Vojera · 30-03-2015 12:34pm

Any word on whether it'll be monster-of-the-week format or back to the mythology stuff?

Watch the first season of SOA. That was the good one, where they used every good idea. Shouldn't take too long.

Monster of the week apparently.

Skinner and Cigarette Smoking Man back aswell.

Skinman to return, no surprises there.

walkingshadow · 24-04-2015 12:31pm

So will the new series be set in amid the ruins of an invaded Earth, with Mulder and Scully taking on the role of resistance fighters to cruel alien overlords?

If there's any God it will!

The Black Oil · 24-04-2015 9:16pm

This is pretty much all we know so far. I think we can take it at face value. Keep in mind a certain amount of misinformation is SOP for Chris Carter and that'll probably ramp up during production.

Agent Coulson · 29-04-2015 3:07pm

Glen Morgan & James Wong Returning

Basq · 29-04-2015 3:29pm

Wonder is there a hope of Vince Gilligan returning I wonder..

EDIT: Never mind.. the article Agent Coulson linked to answer my question..

Vince Gilligan is busy being one of television’s best and most sought-after talents. The showrunner wrapped Breaking Bad in 2013 and now premieres his next projects in 2015, including Bad spinoff Better Call Saul on AMC and Battle Creek, on CBS. However, Gilligan told The X-Files Lexicon that he'd love to be involved with a revival if his busy schedule allows it.

Lady Chatterton · 29-04-2015 7:33pm

Threads merged as requested.

aphex™ · 29-04-2015 9:26pm

Hopefully the lone gunmen will return too.

Need a bit of computer hacking in the show.

The Black Oil · 01-05-2015 4:33pm

No Vince Gilligan, sadly.

Unfortunately I won't be writing for the reboot, because my work on Better Call Saul will keep me from doing that. I'm very sad to miss out, because I would love to have a hand in The X-Files reboot.

I'm only hearing this now!

The Black Oil · 08-05-2015 12:12pm

Production kicks off on June 8th.
Glen Morgan will be writing the second episode.
Darin Morgan will write the third episode.
Each writer will direct their own episodes.

I'd like to see Michelle MacLaren direct.

Wasn't mad red in 'I Want To Believe' if i recall correctly.. though in saying that, I have willingly forgotten 98% of that POS.

Scully is still a Fox (pun intended

). Possibly more so than during the original run actually!

I so hope they do a good job with this. One of my all-time favourite shows. I've re-watched the first few seasons a few times over the last decade and I think they hold up well. Still a bit twitchy if you watch them before going to sleep! Never managed to get right through though and not sure if I want to. Might just give this a go in its own right.

The Black Oil · 12-05-2015 10:12pm

I won't deny I'm really, really concerned Chris Carter's heart just isn't in it, despite it being his project since day one.

Agent Coulson · 13-05-2015 7:16pm

The hype train will be going into overdrive over the coming months.

Agent Coulson · 26-05-2015 8:20pm

'X-Files' star talks Fox's eagerly awaited revival—and says he's up for a second season.

The X-Files: David Duchovny says the new script made him cry

David Duchovny says the first page of The X-Files revivial script made him cry—and it’s fantastic.

“I got the first script this morning,” the actor told EW during a recent interview. “I just read it about an hour ago and I started crying reading the first page. It was just so strange to see the names on the page. It had nothing to do with the script itself. It was just like, I’d been talking about this for a long time. We’d been planning it for a long time. It took a long time to get all the people in the same place and get the deal with Fox. So let’s say two years we’ve been talking about doing it. Now it’s the fun part. Now we actually get to do it. That was nice and strangely emotional for me, and I’ll have to figure out how to use that [in the performance].”

But what about the script itself? “I can tell you absolutely nothing—and it’s fantastic,” Duchovny said

I'm probably in the minority here but I'm really disappointed that John Doggett isn't coming back. I started watching the x-files only 3 years ago having bought season 8 on DVD and then subsequently the entire box set. I'd watched a few eposides in my younger days on TV but I guess I've never really had that love for Moulder that other fans seem to have.
