“The X-Files” gang is getting back together for a six-episode limited series that has formally been given a series order by Fox.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be back as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Series creator Chris Carter will be at the helm for 20th Century Fox TV and Ten Thirteen Productions. Production is set to begin this summer although Fox has not yet set an air date

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” Carter said. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

The “X-Files” revival follows last spring’s return of “24,” as a 13-episode limited series. NBC has joined the mania for resurrecting series with built-in audience awareness with its plans for the “Heroes Reborn” miniseries next season.

“X-Files” is a natural, as the show about FBI sleuths investigating instances of paranormal activity is tailor-made for social media obsession — even if it hails from an earlier TV era. “X-Files” had a nine-season run on Fox from 1993-2002. It spawned two feature films, 1998’s “The X-Files: Fight the Future” and 2008’s “The X-Files: I Want to Believe.”

Fox Television Group chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden shepherded the show on the studio side during its network run. The pair have made no secret of their interest in bringing it back. The new episodes may well spark renewed interest in the show from SVOD platforms, just as the “24: Die Another Day” episodes spurred Fox to cut a rich pact for the entire series library with Amazon Prime.

Earlier this year, Newman and Walden confirmed early plans for “The X-Files” revival at the Television Critics Assn. press tour.

Now confirmed, the duo commented: “We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of ‘The X-Files’ — one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers — and we couldn’t be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again.”

They added, “‘The X-Files’ was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture — yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as ‘The X-Files’ and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.”

There.
 
You have an actual sentence in your thread, you win.

EDIT: Well now this comment doesn't make sense. :p

Anyways, hope this turns out well.
 
I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't get the point of six episodes. 10-13 I could see. Six, though?

Some things - like a satisfactory X-Files conclusion - just aren't meant to be.

Carter should have wrapped up the invasion storyline years ago.
 
Cautiously optimistic...

Can we get Vince Gilligan to drop in for support before he ramps up on Better Call Saul: S2?
 
Perfect time to tell these stories, they claim...and only six episodes? Odd, wonder if they'll be an arc or entirely unconnected.

Likely the result of figuring out schedules and minimizing risk.

I'm a little ambivalent. The X-Files is my favorite show of all time, but it got into a weird place at the end there, and I'm not sure they can recapture the magic of the great early stuff (basically 1-6).

I really hope they focus more on the MOTW and less on the story-arcs.
 
So original creator Chris Carter is back onboard?

You mean the same Chris Carter that wrote and directed the X-Files sequel and that failed Amazon pilot 'The After'?

Pass.

This? This is a veritable War & Peace compared to some of the lazy OPs that infect GAF.

"I MUST BE FIRST!!"

Why, who gives a shit?!

Pfffft.

It's better that they do a tightly written short thing than try to make half a season years after the fact.

Half a season shouldn't really be that hard. The writers should be able to write a 10-13-episode season and not have a ton of filler.
 
I feel like I should keep watching classic shows that people want revived. First I watched Twin Peaks and it is coming back. Now I am just finishing up x files and it will come back.
 
We still won't know shit about shit at the end of these 6 episodes. Chris Carter will never give us satisfaction.

When I rewatched the series recently all of the 'monster of the week' episodes were so much better than anything in the main arc.

Maybe that was just because it was the reverse to me originally when I cared where that storyline went.

Oh shit I never watched the second movie. lol.
 
I just started watching this series officially. Currently on S2E3 and loving it. I have heard that some big questions remain unanswered at the end, so hopefully this extension elaborates.

E: Where should I place the movies in my watching of the show?

Go watch the Sarah Connor chronicles or revolution, please.
 
Fantastic. Hopefully they focus on the invasion storyline, considering that the series ended with "
by the way, alien invasion in 2012, and we're done"
.
