X-Files Stars Open To New Season, Haven’t Been Contacted Yet

David Duchovny And Gillian Anderson of the famed X-Files series returned last year for a 6-episode event season. One to possibly test whether X-Files could come back in the modern age of television.

There are no plans at current to do another event season, but, when Deadline asked the stars themselves, they would be open to at least talking about it, especially Anderson:

“For me, it was important that I thought of this season as being just these six shows when we were doing it. The long insanity of the schedule [demanded it]. I’m open to the conversation, though they haven’t come to us yet. I have no clue when they’re going to. I’m getting on with the rest of my life and I’m booking other jobs, so if it is indeed something that they would like to continue, then that conversation will need to be had. And I have no idea when that will be able to take place at this juncture.”

Duchovny took a more objective approach, noting what the series would need to be to get him back once again:

“I don’t know… I’m pausing, and I don’t know why I’m pausing. I would say, I guess what we found with this season was that it’s possible to still get it. It doesn’t not work. And then the question becomes, if we were going to move on, how do we make it work even better? That’s a question we’d want to ask. This one was, “Phew, we can do it. I guess it did work.” But now it’s like, now what? How do we make this interesting again for all of us? And it is a joy to play, as difficult as it can be. There are days, I’m sure, where Gillian and I would rather go to work and not have to think about it, but ultimately that’s what keeps us alive; these people, those artists, and the chance to be able to use our brains and think on our feet to do the show in that way.”
