Still feel a tingle down your spine hearing the X-Files theme music? Then you’ll be just as excited as I am to hear Agents Mulder & Scully might be returning to television in a new series. Special emphasis on might.
Deadline reports Fox TV executives Dana Walden & Gary Newman really, really, really want to bring The X-Files back… with Duchovny & Anderson reprising their iconic roles as Agents Mulder & Scully. Series creator Chris Carter admitted last year he had been in talks with Fox about a reboot. Gillian Anderson has said she’s very keen to do a third movie. However, it all boils down to whether they can all coordinate their schedules to make it happen.
Will it be a reboot? Walden & Newman made it clear they want Duchovny & Anderson back as Agents Mulder & Scully. The actors themselves have said they want to revisit those damp, foggy British Columbian pine forests again. There’s no possible way they would recast Mulder & Scully and start again, so consider this more of a revival. Is it possible we’ll see all of our favourite FBI agents back on the television in 2016?
The truth is out there.
