The creator of The X-Files is proud of his new six-episode limited series reviving the show for Fox, but admits the franchise’s second feature film probably wasn’t the best concept or timing. Chris Carter first told reporters at the Television Critics Association’s press tour in Pasadena on Friday that he had secretly written a third X-Files movie, but also he felt that if that ever gets greenlit, the new movie would have to be very different than the second film in the franchise, 2008’s oft-maligned The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
It's time to believe again. The X-Files' return to TV is upon us and to celebrate the long-awaited new adventures of Mulder and Scully, Fox brought the show to the 2016 TCA Winter Press Tour. David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Joel McHale and series creator Chris Carterwere on hand to field questions and tease the reopening of The X-Files. Things started out just as you'd expect with Anderson simply asking "How's my sex scene?"
The X-Files kicks off its six-episode return with a mythology-heavy episode, but things quickly change to monster of the week format with another mythology episode to close things out. "That was the signature of the show," Carter explained about the mix of episodes. "We became known for our range...we did that always in the run of the original series, but in this case, there are only 6 episodes, so we had to do it in a much shorter arc."
'The X-Files': David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson joke about their chemistry, history: TV Press Tour
In a loose, entertaining press conference for "The X-Files" event series that debuts Jan. 24 on Fox, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson playfully bantered about their chemistry as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Duchovny, Anderson and "X-Files" creator Chris Carter were on hand, along with guest star Joel McHale, to discuss the six-episode "X-Files" with reporters and critics during the TV Winter 2016 Press Tour at the Langham Huntington hotel.

WATCH FULL::: X-Files: David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson on Jimmy Kimmel - Jan 12, 2016
Full interview below. David and Gillian on Jimmy Kimmel.
Actor David Duchovny attends the premiere of Fox's 'The X-Files' at California Science Center on January 12, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.
Actor David Duchovny, who is returning to "The X-Files" as former FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder, says he is "glad" that his children can now watch the science fiction horror drama TV series.
The show, which has been off air since 2002, makes its return as the two lead characters Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, played by actress Gillian Anderson, investigate more X-Files - strange and unexplained cases involving paranormal phenomena.
David Duchovny Says Gillian Anderson Has the Tougher Job on 'The X-Files' Reboot. The Golden Globe winner gushed about his co-star on the set of the new 'The X-Files.'
Aired on: January 2016.

The statement "absence makes the heart grow fonder" certainly rings true in the case of The X-Files. The groundbreaking sci-fi horror drama went off the air in May 2002 and spawed two films - one in 1998 and a second in 2008 - but the return of the beloved series has garnered so much fan love that it has turned into one of the TV's most anticipated events of the winter. "I think of it as a 13-year commercial break," series creator Chris Carter said in a statement. "The good news is, the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories."
The six-episode series reunites FBI special agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases, or "X-Files," attempting to explain the unexplainable. "I don't think any of us were interested in just doing an exercise in nostalgia," says Duchovny, who describes the limited series as "familiar, but new." When we rejoin the lives of our favorite truth seekers, neither one is the FBI. Anderson reveals, "Scully is working as a doctor, and Mulder is...well, what he's doing is questionable." Mulder lives in a Ted Kaczynski-type shack, and Duchovny laughs, "He's not working, he's not cutting his hair, he's not shaving. All the hallmarks of a man gone to seed."
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be together on Jimmy Kimmel Live on January 12, 2016.
DATE: Jan 12
WHERE: Los Angeles, CA
Guests: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Jacob Tremblay
X-Files new episodes behind the scenes in Vancouver. David and Gillian interviews on Extra.
It’s been 14 years since David Duchovny‘s truth-seeking, pencil-tossing, Scully-crushing FBI Special Agent Fox William “Spooky” Mulder last appeared on the small screen, a drought that will end on Sunday, Jan. 24 with the premiere of Fox’s six-episode revival of The X-Files.
In the following Q&A with TVLine, the 55-year-old actor — and current star of NBC’s Aquarius — reflects on his X-Files past “difficulties” with leading lady Gillian Anderson (yes, we said past), present affection for playing Mulder and the future of the franchise that made him a household name.
In this month’s issue…
The truth is out there… The hit TV show THE X-FILES is heading back to the small screen!
David Duchovny
Mr. Positivity.
David Duchovny doesn’t know why he suddenly decided to take up music, only that he had always wanted to play guitar. And so he picked up the instrument, initially, to amuse himself—on a whim. “It’s a total mystery to me,” he says, quipping: “It’s either that or buy a Porsche.” Taking up either endeavour would would be costly, but music seems to be the more rewarding fit at the moment.
Neither a tour nor a record was anywhere on Duchovny’s mind, and yet in late August, Vancouverites got to spend two evenings with him at his sold-out shows at Alexander Gastown. The performances were scheduled, conveniently, just as his The X-Files reboot was about to wrap filming here.

Belfast Telegraph: David Duchovny: I'll never have another success like The X-Files - Nov 2015
David Duchovny has said he will not have another television success like The X-Files.
The award-winning actor remains best-known for his role as FBI Agent Fox Mulder in the sci-fi/horror drama, alongside Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully. "It's fantastic to be part of it," he said.
"At first it's a little frightening and feels like a strait-jacket. But as time goes on, you just learn to be grateful."
Duchovny used Adele's album 21 to explain his X-Files achievement.

Washington Times: Duchovny brings debut songs to Howard Theatre, talks of ‘X-Files’ spring resurgence
The truth may still be out there, but David Duchovny has effectively turned the lens inward. After two decades in the TV and film spotlights, Mr. Duchovny has just released his first rock album, appropriately titled “Hell or Highwater.”
“I’d never really played any music before five years ago, so it was something where I took up the guitar pretty damn late in life just to kind of amuse myself,” Mr. Duchovny told The Washington Times, adding that he wrote the tracks on “Hell or Highwater” with “the best intentions.”
Mr. Duchovny learned to play under the tutelage of Los Angeles-based guitarist Carlos Calvo, who was the official guitar coach on “Californication.” Mr. Duchovny subsequently hired Mr. Calvo to coach him privately — even taking his teacher along to his new show, “Aquarius,” and insisting his character have it written in that he was a guitarist.
