The X-Files gang recently dropped in for a Q&A at New York’s Comic Con this past weekend, and while they were being coy about the most recent film, the future of the X-Files was brought up. AICN has the transcript.
Host: Would you want to continue the X-Files on another network?Chris: It won’t be the without Scully or Mulder (the actors are both busy on series at the moment). If successful here, it would present an opportunity to see life after the film.
While it all depends on whether or not X-Files:I Want To Believe does well in theaters, the idea of X-Files continuing in some way is an exciting idea. Of course, with both actors busy with their own series, the chances of a new series are slim against the possibility of a furthering film series, which I would prefer anyway. As long as it continues. X-Files was and still is one of my favorite shows, and I’m quite glad that it has a chance at a second life.
Comments
The last seasons of the X-files were definitely not the same without Mulder and Scully. Although Robert Patrick’s character became better over time, this series always did and should be centered around Duchovny and Anderson. I sincerely hope X-files can come back to tv with another series. It would of course, have to re-install Mulder and Scully back in their original roles. Chris Carter would be nuts to try otherwise. Remember, lack of ratings didn’t end this series..Carter did.
A new series with Mulder and Scully would be great and I think would be embraced by the fans as long as the writing stays true to the original concept. Here’s hoping anyway….
