Fox Is Developing an X-Files Animated Spinoff About the Dorkiest FBI Agents

What if Star Trek: Lower Decks…but The X-Files? TV Line reports that Fox, alongside X-Files creator Chris Carter in an executive producer role, are building up an animated spin-off of the beloved supernatural investigation series. We weren’t being flippant about the Lower Decks comparison, either: the new show won’t follow Agents Mulder and Scully, but a…

Peek Into The X-Files: The Official Archives for More Details on the Show’s Creepiest Cases

Why do we love The X-Files so much? Well, Scully and Mulder, of course—and while the show was famous for its alien conspiracy mythology, we confess to preferring its signature monster-of-the-week episodes. A fascinating new book digs into some of the show’s squishiest cases, and io9 has a sneak peek plus an interview with the…

The X-Files Theme Has Lyrics Now, and You Can Hear the Cast and Crew Sing Them

Did it need lyrics? No. Am I going to pass up the opportunity to see Gillian Anderson do literally anything? Also no. The X-Files theme is iconic. Wavering, uneasy, and oddly mystical, it strikes the perfect balance between soothing and terrifying. It’s one of the elements of the show that’s deeply permeated pop culture, to…

10 X-Files Episodes to Watch That Are Still Scary as Hell

These are strange days we’re living in, which makes it the perfect time to revisit The X-Files, available on Hulu. Lately, we’ve been focusing our binge-watch efforts on the monster-of-the-week episodes that scared us so bad we might as well say they scarred us—because they’re still giving us nightmares. Here are 10 favorites you can…

Gillian Anderson Has Some Thoughts About Fox’s Lack of Plans for More X-Files

Just as showrunner Chris Carter had warned it would, Gillian Anderson’s exit from The X-Files after its 11th season has led to Fox confirming there are currently no plans to continue the series. But Anderson has weighed in with her own thoughts as to why The X-Files season 12 is a no go. Speaking to…

The X-Files Finale Was So Horrible I Completely Understand Why Gillian Anderson Isn’t Coming Back

The X-Files season 11 did not start out well and I’m unhappy to report it didn’t end well, either. “My Struggle IV” was mostly boring, but by the end it turned a nightmarishly awful mess that marked a downright tragic end to Gillian Anderson’s time as Special Agent Dana Scully. But why anyone—actors, writers, or…

Open Channel: What Are Your Favorite X-Files Memories?

Last night’s outstanding episode of The X-Files has us all nostalgic for the show’s prime era (assuming our memories can be trusted, that is). So we want to know, what are your favorite—and least favorite—moments from the 11 seasons, two movies, books, and the rest? I quite literally grew up watching The X-Files. It started…

The X-Files Premiere Did One Thing Fans Will Love and One They Will Really Hate

After the surprising return of The X-Files to Fox for a (very uneven) season 10 in 2016, Chris Carter and company have decided to give it another go once more in season 11, which debuted last night. The premiere, “My Struggle III,” had some decidedly huge shake-ups. So, uh… last season never happened? I laughed…

Chris Carter Doesn’t Think There’s a Future for X-Files Without Gillian Anderson

This week, Gillian Anderson re-iterated a statement she’d already made clear: X-Files’ new season would be her final outing as Dana Scully. But in the wake of Anderson’s comments, X-Files creator Chris Carter has told fans and outlets that he still sees the potential for Scully’s return… because he doesn’t think there’s an X-Files without…

The X-Files Is Coming Back to TV For an 11th Season

The X-Files is coming back yet again. After its limited 10th season last year, the show will return for another limited season either later this year or early in 2018. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny will both reprise their roles for the show, which will run 10 episodes. This was more or less expected by…

If the show does come back, the first episode had better just be Chris Carter apologizing for that finale for an hour.

The New X-Files Is a Wasted Opportunity

We’re two episodes into the X-Files revival, and what we’ve gotten is pretty much a throwback to the show’s 1990s glory days. Which is a problem—because instead, this show should be taking advantage of everything that’s changed since it went off the air in 2002. As an X-Files fan, I’ve become resigned to not agreeing…

David Duchovny Got Us Up to Speed on the New X-Files Series

It’s been seven years since we last saw live-action Mulder and Scully, and 13 years since The X-Files was on TV. So of course the question we have to ask is what about that gap makes the new X-Files better than the old. We spoke to David Duchovny, Chris Carter, Mitch Pileggi, and Kumail Nanjiani…
