It’s the question even Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) can’t answer: What is their relationship? In a new promo for the Fox drama, Duchovny and Anderson attempt to make sense of Mulder and Scully’s dynamic: Are they “friendly coworkers”? Partners? “In the second movie we were married, we appeared to be married,” Duchovny says — and despite the fact that 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe never says as much, it’s not the first timeDuchovny has suggested that the pair got hitched somewh ...

It isn’t The X-Files until Mulder and Scully are running through a cemetery. X-Files creator Chris Carter joined stars David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Mitch Pileggi on the main stage at New York Comic Con on Sunday to tease the sci-fi series’ upcoming return — and debut a new trailer, which promises plenty more drama for the partners (and a longer wig!). As EW revealed in our exclusive season 11 first look, Scully has taken a turn for the worse since that season 10 cliffhanger found her rushing to save a sick Mulder on a gridlocked bridge. Although ... [Continua a leggere]

For a show about experiences that can’t be quantified, The X-Files isn’t lacking numbers: 208 (episodes), two (movies), one (Speedo). But the most significant might be 10 — as in, the 10 new episodes now filming in Vancouver. After ratings for 2016’s six-episode revival soared to UFO-worthy heights, the sci-fi drama will return in early 2018, reuniting David Duchovny’s believer and Gillian Anderson’s skeptic for another run of out-there cases. Along with a first look at the new episodes, series creator Chris Carter gave EW classified intel on what ... [Continua a leggere]

If Mulder invites Scully for another round of late-night baseball when The X-Files returns for its 11th season, David Duchovny won’t be the writer behind the magic. Duchovny has confirmed to EW that he will not be writing or directing for The X-Files in its next 10-episode season, though that’s not for lack of trying. “I always say if I have an idea, I would love to write and direct it,” Duchovny says. The X-Files star was no stranger to the creative process during the series’ original run. Duchovny wrote and directed two episodes & ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files fans will be able to add a new chapter to Mulder and Scully’s story with The X-Files Origins series, a pair of YA novels about 15-year-old Dana Scully and 17-year-old Fox Mulder. EW can exclusively announce the two new novels in The X-Files Origins series, Agent of Chaos and Devil’s Advocate. Each story is set in the spring of 1979, when serial murder, the occult, and government conspiracy were highlighted in the news. The books, acquired by Imprint/Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, follow Mulder and Scully as they experience life-changing events that set them o ... [Continua a leggere]

Joel McHale isn’t lowering anyone’s expectations for The X-Files’ season finale. “It’s going to be the greatest of all time,” McHale told EW. McHale, who counts himself a “huge” fan of the sci-fi series, returns in Monday’s finale as Tad O’Malley, the conservative Internet talk show host whose conspiracy theories had a hand in bringing Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) back to the FBI. In anticipation of the finale, EW caught up with McHale to find out what else O’Malley has in store, why he thinks The X-Fil ... [Continua a leggere]

Warning: This story contains spoilers from Monday’s episode of The X-Files. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) has lost another family member. “Home Again,” the fourth installment in The X-Files’ six-episode event series, saw Scully and Mulder (David Duchovny) saying goodbye to Scully’s mother, Maggie (Sheila Larkin), who succumbed to a heart attack. EW talked to writer-director Glen Morgan about why this was Maggie’s time, the message she needed to send to Mulder, and which trilogy of episodes “Home Again” completes. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Fr ...

X-Files fans got a glimpse inside the writers’ room on Saturday at EW Fest — not that the groundbreaking sci-fi series ever had a writers’ room in a traditional sense. As executive producer/ writer Glen Morgan, who is returning for the show’s new season in January, recalled, the writers rarely broke stories in a group, working instead out of boxy offices or each other’s backyards. But out of the series’ regular group of writers came a number of TV’s biggest influencers, including Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) and Frank Spotnitz (Man in ...

Season 10 of The X-Files (and yes, take it from superfan Kumail Nanjiani: They’re calling it season 10) made its U.S. debut at New York Comic-Con on Saturday with an episode that was at once new and familiar. “We tried to pull things from the distant past and make them relevant to today,” said series creator Chris Carter. “We’re trying to be honest to the time we live in. When they talk about the new world order, it’s something with a lot of scope.” Nanjiani, who appears in an episode of the new season, approves. “You always think, ‘How do ... [Continua a leggere]

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson treated fans to what we can only hope is a preview of the upcoming X-Files revival on Tuesday night. Performing songs from his new album Hell or Highwaterat The Cutting Room in New York, Duchovny was joined onstage by his once and future Scully, who stopped for a quick kiss as she made her way to the mic.   “Can we play some real music, please?” Anderson asked.    The two proceeded to sing and dance their way through a cover of Neil Young’s “Helpless,” whispering and exchanging a fist bump ...
