Production of The X-Files, will resume
in Vancouver next spring, according to series creator Chris Carter, who offered a timetable in an interview with The Globe and Mail this week.
“I imagine we would be up there shooting
in the spring of 2017,” said Carter, who will, this week, be in
Vancouver to receive an Industry Builder Award from the Vancouver
International Film Festival for his efforts to ensure that production on
the recent round of episodes was environmentally sustainable.
He said he expects to do “a small expansion” on the number of episodes in this latest continuation of the milestone show.
“They are constructive negotiations so I can’t imagine [The X-Files] wouldn’t come back,” Carter said. However, continuing the series presents some creative challenges. “Coming back last year was a trick and coming back again will be another trick.”
“How
many years of life are there left in the show? Do you play this as the
end? Do you play this as a continuation? There are lots of creative
challenges to tackle.”
