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 response has been really
encouraging,” Fox entertainment president David Madden tells Variety, speaking in an interview conducted earlier in “The X-Files” season. “We haven’t talked to the talent yet about Season 2 in any
more definitive way than we had prior to airing the show, but certainly,
it seems like there’s an audience responding to the show that would
love to see more episodes.”
Insiders tell Variety there are no official conversations under
way regarding the future of the franchise, but Fox would love to make
more “X-Files” happen, if they can — the main hurdle would be getting
the schedules of Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny to
align, given their other commitments.
