“We would have liked to have done more [episodes] in the first place,”
said Walden. “It was really the limitations of David and Gillian and
Chris’ schedules. Gillian lives in the UK, David lives in New York and
California, and we do the show in Vancouver. Chris lives up north. So it
was just trying to coordinate a time where they all carve out a period
to be in Vancouver.”
This time around, the network and studio “have longer to plan” for
another season. “We’re in conversations that intentionally we could do
more,” she said. “I don’t imagine it being a full season of The X-Files, but I would be really happy if we were able to get eight to 10 episodes.”
“We would love to do other seasons,” Fox Entertainment president David
Madden said. “There are significant talks with all three
principals”, creator Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny and Gillian
Anderson. “We are working hard, and would like to get a new season
soon.”
Madden and Walden were asked whether the network would want to make creative changes for a new season of The X-Files since the recent one was met with mixed reviews. “I actually think the
season was strong,” Madden said. “The episodes represent Chris and his
team’s vision, and we will take our cue from them.”
Added Walden, “The show was off the air for a very long time. It was
introduced to new viewers, and (the writers) had the challenge of
filling in the mythology. Going forward, there won’t be the same
obligation to reset the series.”

It's been really hard being one of only four people who knows what happens in My Struggle 3. Can't come soon enough! #TheXFiles— Anne Simon (@Annealiz1) August 9, 2016
Just heard from Chris Carter negotiations are continuing. Let's all think positive thoughts about #XFiles season 11 starting next year! 🙏👽👍— Anne Simon (@Annealiz1) August 18, 2016
