Chris Carter talked with reporters, and us, today! Here are 5 takeaways-

On the subject of William-

“He will play an important part…he’s an active presence.” “He is important to the arc.”

On coming back-

“I wouldn’t have done it without David and Gillian.”

On fan influence-

“I got a direct hit from the fans for their desire to see the show,” specifically at Comic-Con. 

About the Lone Gunmen returning-

“They come back in a way that you would absolutely never expect.”

Something for fans to keep an eye on-

“There are Easter eggs" in the episodes!

When watching the show, tweet us the Easter eggs you spot, using #TheXFiles.

Don't miss the premiere SUN (after the game) and MON 8/7c!
