"Aquarius" comes as Duchovny prepares for the long-awaited reboot of
"The X-Files" for Fox alongside his original costar Gillian Anderson and
the show's creator, Chris Carter.
"Aquarius" also arrives as
another key component in Duchovny's directive to plant his creative flag
all along the pop culture spectrum: he released his first album this month and recently published his first novel.
"I like to work so I'm always looking for something to do," Duchovny
says about why he took on "Aquarius" before diving back into "The
X-Files." "But I was not thinking in terms of network. I liked the
experience I had on Showtime, the freedom that really helped the
storytelling. When I first began talking with the producers about
'Aquarius,' I never thought it was a network show."
When he returns to the "The X-Files" this summer, the run will be a
six-episode special event. The sci-fi series premiered in September 1993
and ran for nine seasons before ending in 2002.
"We'll be going
back to Vancouver, where it all started," Duchovny says. "I'm very happy
that Gillian will be there with me. I look at her and say, 'Can you
believe we're doing this 25 years later?' It will be nostalgic, but
we're also telling new stories. I can't wait."
