“The X-Files” cliffhanger means we are probably getting another season.

While they’re not ready to announce a new season, FOX is still certainly planning for more installments of “The X-Files” in the future. Fox made it known during the executive session at Monday’s Television Critics Association press day that it’s not done just yet. “Schedules are hard, but we’re working hard to get this done and we would love to get another season out”.
We would have liked to have done more [episodes] in the first place.
Many fans had complained that the new episodes of the show about Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson), two paranormal-investigating FBI agents, were not up to the standards of the original series, which aired from 1995 to 2002. However, when there are only six episodes to tell a story the size of the “X-Files” mythology, burning off four of them to tell standalone stories was a big mistake. Gillian lives in the U.K. David lives in NY and California and we do the show in Vancouver. So it was just trying to coordinate a time where they all carve out a period to be in Vancouver … We’re in conversations that potentially we could do more. “I don’t see a full season of episodes, but I’d be happy to get 10 or 8 episodes”.
“The show was off the air for a very long time, and was introduced to a variety of new viewers (via online rereuns)”, she said. “There was still a lot of time to cover in these six episodes”.

“I think going forward there won’t be the same obligation to reset the series”, Walden added. The creator wrote and directed three of the six episodes, which took fans back to the core mysteries of the earlier seasons of the show, while returning Mulder and Scully (and several other recurring original stars) to their former glory – and partnership.
