It looks like die-hard fans of the iconic 1990s supernatural show The X-Files could be coming much closer to getting their fondest wish: a reboot of the popular hit. For years it was something that fans campaigned for, and while other parties kind of liked the idea, there was no serious discussion about it until now. Now that Fox has seen a show like 24 be successfully rebooted for a limited run, they are interested in doing the same for Moulder and Scully, who were played to perfection by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
Deadline was one of the first to report that this new project is now in the talking stages, saying:
"Fox TV Group Chairman Dana Walden said that the conversations so far have been only logistical, looking at windows when the key X-Files players, creator Chris Carter and stars Duchovny and Anderson, are available. She confirmed that a potential X-Files followup will star the original leading duo of Duchovny and Anderson. There have been no creative discussions yet about what that new series might be.
"Carter hinted at a possible reboot in the summer, acknowledging he had had conversations with Fox and 20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind X-Files. The series already spawned a movie franchise, and there also has been a fan campaign to extend that franchise with another movie."
Both Duchovny and Anderson have spoken about being open to revisiting their beloved characters. Plus, the two are rumored to finally not only be romantically linked, but living together in New York City — though they have yet to admit it — so their relationship is obviously completely on point.
Do you think they will all work out the details to bring The X-Files back even for a limited run? The last time fans saw Moulder and Scully was about eight years ago with a second X-Files film that most fans would rather forget. A new run would kind of be like redemption, right?
