    Default The X-Files are coming back

    http://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/40...ve-the-x-files
    Fox TV Group chairman Gary Newman announced today at the channel’s TCA presentation that they’re in talks to revive Chris Carter’s classic TV series, “The X-Files.” Newman added that they would like to bring back David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, but that’s not confirmed. No further details were given about the discussions.

    Running from 1993 to 2002, “The X-Files” ran for 202 episodes with a feature film set between seasons 5 and 6 and a second movie hitting theaters in 2008. Starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, “The X-Files” garnered 21 Emmy nominations while on the air, featured a spin-off series “The Lone Gunmen,” and debuted countless comics, video games, and other merchandise.
    That is all

    Maybe this will give a boost to the new X-files anthologies Jonathan Maberry is editing. I have a story in the second one, due out late this year.

    Cool news. I had never heard of the spin-off series either. Was it any good?

    Yes. That is the name referenced. The photo that needfulthings posted looks vaguely familiar.

    I watched the first two seasons recently as prep for writing my story. Impressed by how it stands up. I'm nearly through the third season. But I'm also watching Californication (Duchovny) and The Fall (Anderson) at the same time, which can really mess with your head.

    My all-time # 1 television series - ever.

    I do hope they'll leave it alone.
    It was a great run and a new series can only disappoint.

    This is indeed great news! And coincidentally, I've been rewatching the original series on Netflix. I was surprised how vividly I remembered the first 2 seasons.
    Currently on season 7, episode 8.

    I used to look forward to Sunday nights because of The X-Files and was bummed when it went off the air.
    I'm excited that we'll get to revisit the show, even if only for a short period.

    I tried rewatching it on DVD and i only made it a few episodes in...after the awesomeness that is Toombs, I lost interest. The show was at it's best in and around when Fight The Future was released. I wasn't too keen on most of the first season :/

    I think I'll rewatch season nine before this is released. Been years since I watched it.

    There are so many great episodes that I had forgotten about until I watched the show on Netflix recently. One of them is the two-parter Dreamland where he swapped bodies with Michael McKean's character. That was a great one.

    I rewatched the first two seasons as research for my story in Jonathan Maberry's anthology and I was impressed enough to keep going. I'm up to Season 4 now. Hopefully I'll be all caught up by the time the new series runs.

    The guy who played Cancer Man says he hopes they go back in time to earlier adventures, so he can be in it!

    Just a heads up for the netflix viewers. Unless they fixed it in the last month, Netflix has no subtitles for the Xfiles so you're missing all the foreign language translation and location details. Hulu is the better option for watching the show, if you in fact have a Hulu subscription.

    The X-Files has recently been remastered in HD but I think Netflix still has the old versions. The HD episodes look amazing.

    I haven't seen an hd episode but did hear about it. I'm hoping a bluray set is in the works.
