The X-Files is returning with 6-episodes and will film this Summer, which sees the return of Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny as Scully and Mulder, respectively.
Series creator Chris Carter has shared a few details with the Vancouver Sun.
â˘Â The series picks up eight years after we last saw Scully and Mulder.
â˘Â Mitch Pileggi will return as Walter Skinner and William B. Davis as âThe Smoking Man,â with big chance the Lone Gunmen will return.
⢠Carter says the new series will be similar to the original: â⌠a combination of the ongoing Mulder and Scully conspiracy saga, relationship and stand-alone episodes that will come interspersed. That said, it will all be of a piece, meaning that it wonât feel disconnected. Itâll all feel as if itâs taking place in what I would call television âreal time.’â
â˘Â Regarding the relationship between Scully and Mulder: âAs we saw in the second movie, they were together, not married. Living together. But when we come back we will find that relationship is not where we left it.â
â˘Â Any chance for a love scene between the two? Carter says: âIt was part of the mystery of The X-Files. That relationship was kind of mysterious. Did they get together? Didnât they get together? If theyâve got a child together, when did they get together? These are questions that we will deal with and answer in good time.â
â˘Â Itâs possible Scully and Mulderâs son, William, might appear.
â˘Â Carter has the first draft completed and is turning it into the studio.
â˘Â How Scully and Mulder have changed, Carter offers: âTheyâve grown up. Theyâve matured, their sensibilities have matured, their relationship has matured and evolved.â
