The X-Files taketh away… and The X-Files giveth. Wednesday’s Season 11 finale ended on a giant cliffhanger: Though the pandemic in Scully’s visions was averted, it came with a price — the apparent death of her son, William/Jackson, at Cigarette Smoking Man’s hand. When a grief-stricken Mulder lamented that his son was dead, Scully sadly corrected him: The boy was, indeed, Cigarette Smoking Man’s child, created with technology (which explains his ability to blow people up using just his mind) and implanted in her all those years ago. But the ... [Continua a leggere]

Bold prediction: One of the 10 new X-Filesepisodes coming our way in 2018 will be completely, utterly bananas. The franchise’s most out-there auteur, Darin Morgan, is poised to follow up 2015’s inspired “Mulder & Scully Meet the Were-Monster” withanother undoubtedly surreal installment, this one featuring a guest turn by Veep‘s Brian Huskey. Little is known about the outing, although David Duchovny recently hinted to TVLine that Morgan’s disdain for his alter ego remains very much in tact. “What I personally love in [Darin&rsqu ...

X-Files devotees, we can feel you thinking about whether or not your favorite FBI agents once more will be a couple when the sci-fi drama returns for Season 11. Turns out, we have a little something for that. (Say it with us now: “ Just a little something? “) Series star David Duchovny recently teased to TVLine that there are “definite intimations of hanky-panky” between the pair, beginning in the revival’s third episode (out of 10). And a new video released today by Fox gives us what looks like photographic — albeit fleeting — proof of at least ... [Continua a leggere]

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 ...

If there’s iced tea in that bag, it could be love. And if not, well at least we’ve got an official return date for The X-Files‘ Season 11. The continued revival of Fox’s sci-fi drama will return on Wednesday, Jan. 3 (8/7c), TVLine has learned. In addition, the network has released the upcoming season’s striking poster, which promises/warns, “The truth is closer than ever.” (Scroll down to see it in full.) Given various preview videos and the intel we’ve gleaned, Season 11 appears to center on Mulder and Scully’s son, Willi ... [Continua a leggere]

In The X-Files ‘ newly released Season 11 trailer, longtime frenemies Mulder and Skinner can be seen literally going at each other’s throats. What’s the nature of the duo’s beef this time around? We got the truth out of Mitch Pileggi. “It’s about Scully,” Skinner’s portrayer tells TVLine, adding that he has long attempted to telegraph to the audience that his short-fused G-man “might have a little crush on Scully” — one that that has led him to have some “resentment toward Mulder.” Combine that with the fact that bo ...

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 ...

The X-Files is bringing back Mulder and Scully 2.0 for Season 11. TVLine has learned exclusively that Robbie Amell (The Flash) and Lauren Ambrose(Six Feet Under) have signed on to reprise their roles as Agents Miller and Einstein in the series’ latest revival (set to bow on Fox in early 2018). It remains unclear how many of Season 11’s 10 episodes they will appear in. The pair made their X-Files debut in last year’s six-episode revival as FBI special agents who bore more than a passing resemblance to David Duchovny’s Mulder ... [Continua a leggere]

The gender inequality is still out there, but this is a step in the right direction. The X-Files‘ upcoming 11th season will feature two episodes directed by women, TVLine has learned exclusively. One of the helmers, Carol Banker, has a long history with the franchise, having served as script supervisor on the mothership from 1999-2002 and a director on the short-lived spinoff The Lone Gunmen. X-Filesnewbie Holly Dale, meanwhile, has directed more than 100 hours of episodic TV, including such series as Being Erica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Gr ...

[...] This AAnd That…♦ Hearing buzz that Scully won’t be in the best of shape when The X-Files picks up.Also, much like the last revival, rumor has it Season 11 will be bookended by heavy (and hopefully less contrived/cheesy) mythology episodes written and directed by series creator Chris Carter.

It’s been 14 years since David Duchovny‘s truth-seeking, pencil-tossing, Scully-crushing FBI Special Agent Fox William “Spooky” Mulder last appeared on the small screen, a drought that will end on Sunday, Jan. 24 with the premiere of Fox’s six-episode revival of The X-Files. In the following Q&A with TVLine, the 55-year-old actor — and current star of NBC’s Aquarius — reflects on his X-Files past “difficulties” with leading lady Gillian Anderson (yes, we said past), present affection for playing Mulder and the future of the franc ...

The X Files‘ Dana Scully is officially back to work, but she almost slept through her alarm clock. “It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve played her,” says Gillian Anderson of her role in Fox’s hotly anticipated, six-episode revival of the sci-fi franchise. “I can’t remember what year the movie was, but it felt like [Scully] was further away from me than I’d thought she would be. But I’ve also worked really hard at putting her entirely to sleep, so that was successful; she’s just taken longer to ...
