Scully (Gillian Anderson) is disturbed to arrive at the X-Files basement office one morning and find Mulder (David Duchovny) missing. When she checks his laptop, she sees that Mulder has been watching “Truth Squad” with Tad O’Malley (Joel McHale), a web program that has returned to broadcast after a six week hiatus. O’Malley reports that something sinister is occurring, nationwide. The conspiracy is on the move, through the use of a deadly contagion that will kill millions, while preserving only a handful of chosen survivors. Scully and Agent Einstein (Lauren A ...

“We’ve traditionally ended on a cliffhanger,” X-Files creator Chris Carter tells EW, “and this is as big a cliffhanger as we’ve ever done.” And how: The hit revival of Carter’s paranoia-chic supernatural saga ended with an apparent epidemic threatening to kill most of the human race, including Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) — and that was before a mysterious UFO appeared, with a spotlight pointed directly at Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson). We talked to Carter about what this could mean for The X-Files ’ future. ENTERTAINMENT WEEK ... [Continua a leggere]

X-Files creator Chris Carter said the hit sci-fi show would likely return after its highly-anticipated six-episode reboot wrapped on Fox Monday. "I can tell you, almost without a doubt, we will come back," Carter told The New York Times.Carter said he'd had an "informal conversation" with Fox co-chief executive, Dana Walden, who told him the network was interested in future episodes. Though Carter noted there are a lot of logistics that need to be sorted out before an official announcement can be made."It's really a matter of when the actors would be able to do it, when they're available at th ...

Last week's episode of The X-Files is one fans will, no doubt, never forget. I mean, how can any of us erase from our minds the image of Fox Mulder tripping on mushrooms and proceeding to perform a country western dance? What you may not have realized at the time, though, was how four different, well-known pieces of music were weaved together to create a not inexpensive backdrop to that sequence — "Somethin' Bad" by Miranda Lambert (featuring Carrie Underwood), "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Adkins and "Misery Is the River of the World" by Tom ...

Last week's X-Files episode, "Babylon," ended with a sign from above. Trumpets sounded in the sky. Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) heard them. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) did not. The season finale, written and directed by creator Chris Carter, plunges us straight into the portended abyss. "My Struggle II" opens with a monologue similar to the one in the season premiere. This time, it's Scully recounting her work on the X-Files — how it challenged her faith in science and spirituality, even as it reinforced one of the core beliefs she's clung to from the start of her career. "The answers ... [Continua a leggere]

When The X-Files ended its first run in 2002, Gillian Anderson was over it. "I needed to dig a deep ditch for anything X-Files-related to go into," she says with a big laugh. "It took a while before I could talk about the show with a sense of appreciation and wistfulness." She was 33 at the time of the original series finale and had spent the majority of her adult life playing FBI Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully, the impassive, skeptical voice of reason in the fantastical world of her onscreen foil, Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). Throughout nine seasons, including two after Duchovny left, A ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files is done. For now, hopefully. What's next? Is there anything ahead for Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson)? Warning, spoilers abound in our chat with The X-Files creator Chris Carter about the season finale of the drama's Fox revival, and what's to come should we get more episodes in the future. Things ended on a big cliffhanger: the Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) had started to end the world with Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) sort of under his thumb. She decided to side with him to save herself. Mulder was near death, confronting CSM and Scully was ... [Continua a leggere]

“I can tell you, almost without a doubt, we will come back.” That’s Chris Carter, the creator of “The X-Files,” who surprised viewers on Monday night by wrapping up the show’s highly rated, six-episode mini-season revival with a cliffhanger. With the world in the grip of a global plague and Agent Scully poised between distributing a vaccine and saving the life of her comrade, Agent Mulder, an apparent spacecraft appeared to bathe her in an electric blue light. And then… credits. It was the latest salvo in the ongoing arms race between ever-savvier ... [Continua a leggere]

The X-Files ended its revival with quite the cliffhanger. As the world fell apart around them—thanks to an outbreak of a mysterious disease, that was picking off all but a chosen few—Scully (Gillian Anderson) raced to save a dying Mulder (David Duchovny) with a vaccine that was adapted from the alien elements in her DNA. When she found him, she privately confided in Miller (Robbie Amell) that they might be too late: the only cure for Mulder could be their son, whom she gave up for adoption in 2002. Unfortunately for Scully, she didn't even have the chance to figure out where to g ... [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]

Storyboards, props, blueprints and scripts from the making of the current season of The X-Files are now on exhibit in Vancouver—just in time for the much-buzzed season finale on February 22. “X-Files: The Truth is Here (The Making of Season 10)” opened at Back Gallery Project on February 16 and runs until February 27.

“The X-Files” reboot has been a major success for Fox, but will there be more episodes after the event series wraps this upcoming Monday? While there are no firm plans at this time for a second round of episodes, with the ratings proof, Fox execs are undoubtedly discussing the possibility of ordering more episodes. Plus, the network has been promoting Monday’s finale as the “season finale” — not the “series finale.” “We said before it aired that we would love to do more, and we are over the moon with the performance. So far, the resp ... [Continua a leggere]

It may have been 14 years since The X-Files originally went off the air, but for TV fans, the show has never truly gone away. Through the years, The X-Files influence has been felt on many popular shows like The CW’s Supernatural and ABC’s Castle (the two shows have even shared key behind-the-scenes people with the Fox drama); CBS’ Person of Interest; and even a few Fox shows (the network which X-Files originated), like Sleepy Hollow and Fringe (which counted X-Files’ Darin Morgan as a consulting producer in its freshman year). Even Bones, another Fox sh ... [Continua a leggere]

In a world riddled with thousands of angry voices shouting over each other, how do we rise above the cacophony and try to listen? How do we overcome the hatred that cripples and divides society? How do we erase the image of New England-bred, Oxford-educated Fox Mulder sporting brass knuckles while re-enacting the video for “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk” that’s now burned into our bleeding retinas? These are the questions that “Babylon,” Monday’s penultimate episode of “The X-Files” revival mini-series, attempts to answer — with limited degrees o ... [Continua a leggere]
