Is there a chance that the X-Files will resurface?

While X-Files has been an integral part of science fiction since it first aired, but it doesn’t have an uninterrupted 30-year success story behind it. The original series ran for nine seasons from 1993 to 2002, with the first film appearing between the fifth and sixth seasons. This made it the longest-running consecutive science fiction series ever broadcast on US television at the time. But while the Season 9 finale may have marked the end of Mulder and Scully’s adventures, X-Files would return in 2015 as a limited series-structured season 10 before returning for season 11 in 2018.

With X-Files Having returned to television twice, there is always debate about whether something like this could happen again. Anderson is picky about one X files back and has stated that she would only return if the writing changed massively. Duchovny has expressed similar concerns that his return depends on what stories might be told in a new series. However, after Fox was acquired by the Walt Disney Company, the rights for X-Files is up to Disney and depends on what the company wants to do with the property.

During official celebrations for X-Files“The 30th anniversary may be an understatement, but viewers’ passionate celebration shows it continues to have a strong place in pop culture.” Mulder and Scully remain an iconic duo. There were reports of one X files reboot by Ryan Coogler, but it remains to be seen what that will look like. Still, it’s clear that this is a franchise that will live on for years to come.
