A decidedly mixed reaction was out there when the first X-Files revival (aka Season 10) landed on Fox two years ago. But series creator Chris Carter firmly believes that all the creative kinks have been worked out ahead of the series’ 10-episode comeback in early 2018. Regarding the 2016 revival, Carter concedes that the franchise’s decade-plus sabbatical proved to be something of a liability. “We [relaunched] from a standing start after not having been on the air for 12 years — there was some reacquainting that had to be achieved,” he says. “It was ...

Question: Will we see Mulder and Scully’s son William in Season 11 of The X-Files? And, if so, is he more like Mulder or Scully? —RicardaAusiello: Yes, we will see him. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were cagey about their demon-ish spawn’s identity when I grilled them on stage at New York Comic-Con earlier this month, but the pair were slightly more forthcoming after the panel. Anderson told me the actor (whose name has yet to be announced) “looks like a normal kid” and Duchovny offered this cryptic tease when I asked him which of hi ... [Continua a leggere]

We want to believe this will work out: The X-Files is trying to get Robert Patrick back for Season 11. Series creator Chris Carter tells TVLine exclusively that the Scorpion actor — who portrayed Agent John Doggett in Seasons 8 and 9 — was actually slated to appear in one of Season 11’s early installments. “I actually wrote him into an episode,” Carter reveals. “But then I found out he wasn’t going to be available to us [because of Scorpion] so I had to write him out of the episode… Scorpion is hi ...

In addition to the release timing and new teaser trailer for The X-Files: Season 11 that debuted at New York Comic Con, IGN spoke with the show's creator, Chris Carter, the creator of The X-Files, as well as stars Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny and Mitch Pileggi about what the next season may hold. Mulder and Scully’s son William is set to make an appearance in the next season, but beyond that, not much has been revealed about the character.

It isn’t The X-Files until Mulder and Scully are running through a cemetery. X-Files creator Chris Carter joined stars David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Mitch Pileggi on the main stage at New York Comic Con on Sunday to tease the sci-fi series’ upcoming return — and debut a new trailer, which promises plenty more drama for the partners (and a longer wig!). As EW revealed in our exclusive season 11 first look, Scully has taken a turn for the worse since that season 10 cliffhanger found her rushing to save a sick Mulder on a gridlocked bridge. Although ... [Continua a leggere]

“We’re looking at a world where now truth is thrown out the window and conspiracy is now seemingly the center,” says The X-Files creator Chris Carter of bringing back the pivotal drama in the era of Donald Trump. “Everything’s been turned on its head and that’s an interesting time to be telling X-Files stories,” the producer added of the latest season likely set to debut next year. About halfway through production on the 10-episode eleventh season of the David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson starring ser ... [Continua a leggere]

Phoning in from The X-Files set in Vancouver, series creator Chris Carter says he hopes to capitalize on what worked well in the six-episode revival. Naturally, it was the same morning they began production on a “dark comedy” episode written by fan-favorite writer Darin Morgan. Though tight-lipped about the actual plot of the episode, the often cryptic showrunner had more to divulge on the season 10 cliffhanger ending that sent the passionate X-Files fan base into a frenzy. Carter had a plan all along, even if there was no guarantee of life for The X-Files beyond the sea ... [Continua a leggere]

Nobody blinks when there’s a monster lurking around the set of The X-Files. Nine seasons, two feature films, and a six-episode revival would condition any actor or crew member to treat the paranormal as just another day at the office. But what happens when a superfan invades the production?   In season 10, writer and director Darin Morgan cast lifelong X-Files fan Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick) to play a guest role as the titular creature in “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster.” His first night on-set, Nanjiani recalls walking t ...

For a show about experiences that can’t be quantified, The X-Files isn’t lacking numbers: 208 (episodes), two (movies), one (Speedo). But the most significant might be 10 — as in, the 10 new episodes now filming in Vancouver. After ratings for 2016’s six-episode revival soared to UFO-worthy heights, the sci-fi drama will return in early 2018, reuniting David Duchovny’s believer and Gillian Anderson’s skeptic for another run of out-there cases. Along with a first look at the new episodes, series creator Chris Carter gave EW classified intel on what ... [Continua a leggere]

Next year’s 11th season return of The X-Files will feature an actress who once played the show’s most notorious role. Karin Konoval (The Planet of the Apes trilogy) previously appeared on the series in 1996 playing a mutant-breeding amputee kept under a bed in “Home.” The episode was so notoriously disturbing that, for years, Fox declined to re-air it. “Home” went on to be considered one of the show’s finest hours. We’re told Konoval will play multiple roles in a rather scary entry in the new season. Teases showrunner Chris Cart ... [Continua a leggere]

It was Vancouver's deep, dark forests that brought the television series The X-Files to the city for five seasons. "There were forest scenes in the pilot of The X-Files, and we came up simply for the forests," said creator Chris Carter, laughing. "[Lead actor] David Duchovny says it was two weeks that turned into five years." The hit television show had a profound impact on Vancouver's production scene, making the city a go-to location for television and film productions. Carter is being recognized for The X-Files' contribution to that growth with an Industry Builder Award from the ... [Continua a leggere]
