BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Significant talks are underway with “The X-Files” stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny and creator Chris Carter for more of the drama series, Fox’s entertainment president said.
“Schedules are hard, but we are working hard to get this done and we would love to get another season out soon,” programming chief David Madden told a TV critics meeting Monday.
Fox touted the 16 million viewers who watched each of the six episodes that brought the 1993-2002 sci-fi series back to this year.
But what about the mixed reviews it got, reporters asked Madden and Dana Walden, chairman and CEO of Fox Television Group. Because the series had been off the air for so long, it faced the challenge of filling in its larger “mythology” and fast-forwarding the characters’ lives, Walden said.
