After 13 years, there are still millions of people who think the truth is still out there. When "The X-Files"
TV series returned to Fox Sunday night after a 13-year absence, over
13.5 million people tuned in to the first episode of the six-part
miniseries to see what's next for Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. With ratings so high right away, could there be news of additional new episodes in the future?
High ratings for "The X-Files" is good news for Fox as well as fans. The show's creator Chris Carter already stated
that if the show does well and the network wants more episodes, there
could be more "X-Files" in the future. At this time, there are no plans
for a spinoff, but that could change. Fox co-president Gary Newman also
said he'd be interested in having more stories of "The X-Files" but
that it would depend on availability.
Carter told The Hollywood Reporter
he was hoping the show would get high ratings and that everyone
involved with the show would "consider all options." For now, he's just
hoping to successfully present the series in modern times.
"No one has ever done this on television. I just wanted to bring the
show into what I would call a brave new world. I would call that our
mission statement, but our mission statement is always, 'It's only as
scary as it is believable.' It has to take place within the realm of
extreme possibility," Carter dished.
