In new audio drama The X-Files: Cold Cases, available today on Audible, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprise their iconic roles as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who are pulled back into the field when a data breach at FBI headquarters gives a mysterious group access to their old case files. And the resulting investigation brings them into contact with a number of old friends: In addition to Duchovny and Anderson, original cast members Mitch Pileggi (FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (the Cigarette Smoking Man), and Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Bruce Harwood (the Lone Gunmen) all return.

David Duchovny explains why he won't be writing for The X-Files Season 11

If Mulder invites Scully for another round of late-night baseball when The X-Files returns for its 11th season, David Duchovny won’t be the writer behind the magic.

Duchovny has confirmed that he will not be writing or directing for The X-Files in its next 10-episode season, though that’s not for lack of trying. “I always say if I have an idea, I would love to write and direct it,” Duchovny says.

From Joe Harris: This isn't really an "audiobook" read by a reader. It's more a experience (Dirk Maggs calls it an "Audio Movie" which is way more descriptive and accurate -- with sweeping sound design, and lots of additions to bring out the drama besides the interplay between Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi, William B. Davis and The Lone Gunmen).

More X-Files? "Probably not" says Gillian Anderson - November 2016

Feted for playing an FBI agent in "The X-Files" tackling the supernatural, actress Gillian Anderson has cast herself in the real-life role of an anti-slavery campaigner after being shocked at the scale of the problem.

Anderson said she had been unaware up to 46 million people globally were living as slaves, generating an estimated US$150 billion in illegal profits a year, until she became involved in the film "Sold". "The film is an entry point to the issue. By telling one girl's story it gives voice to the millions of children who are trafficked every year."Anderson, who lives in London, said she hoped "Sold", set for a digital release early next year after limited theatrical screenings since 2014, would help raise awareness of the issue.

EXCLUSIVE: After months of rumours, an eleventh season of The X-Files is within sight. I’m hearing from my sources that Fox execs are targeting a “more traditional” episode order for the new season and that the official green-light is expected from the network “within weeks”.

(UPDATE: Additional sources are now saying the order will be for ten episodes)
