Fox Confirms ‘X-Files’ Reboot Talks

Following the success of Fox’s 24 limited series, the network is looking to bring back another iconic drama series, The X-Files. Fox TV Group chairman Gary Newman today confirmed chatter that the network is in talks for a new installment of Chris Carter’s cult supernatural drama, which starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Newman went on to say he was “hopeful” about the outcome. Carter hinted at a possible reboot in the summer, acknowledging he had had conversations with Fox and 20th Century Fox TV, the studio behind X-Files. The series already spawned a movie franchise, and there also has been a fan campaign to extend that franchise with another movie.

As for 24, nothing new to report but Newman noted that he and fellow Fox TV Group chairman Dana Walden are in continuous conversations with the creative auspices behind the 24 franchise. “We’d love nothing more than to do another 24,” Newman said.

However, despite speculation, there is nothing going on Prison Break, though Newman said they would “bring Prison Break back in a heartbeat.”

Fox Boss Gary Newman on a Potential X-FILES Revival

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO, Gary Newman, told reporters at the end of the Fox TCA exec session that there were early talks about potentially bringing X-FILES back for an event series. After the panel, when Newman spoke with reporters, I asked him what the progress was of a potential series, and who would actually be attached.

“What I can say is that if this happens, it’ll be with David [Duchovny (Mulder)] and Gillian [Anderson (Scully)] reprising their roles,” Newman said. “[X-FILES creator] Chris [Carter] is interest, both David and Gillian are interested. Scheduling is very difficult. David has his show, Gillian is doing something in the UK. I really don’t know how fast it can happen, but there are ongoing conversation happening.”

Si ça fait comme la rumeur de 24 en mai 2013 et qui était revenu à la télé environ 1 an après son annonce, on pourrait peut-être voir le retour de X-Files pour le printemps/été 2016.

[Hitler Was Here]

On a déjà le retour de Twin Peaks en 2016.... Ils peuvent bien reculer le retour de X-Files....

[The Eternal]

Je serais autant content si ça se fait que j'ai de grandes inquiétudes.

C'est quand même logique une limited serie event dans la veine de 24 et Twin Peaks parce que un film mythologique de 2h sur l'invasion alien, ça aurait été un gros bordel.

Autant le pilot de The Man in the High Castle de Frank Spotnitz m'a rassuré, Il faut dire que Chris Carter a commencé à perdre son mojo après les 5 premières saisons de X-Files, le 2e film était à chier et son pilot de The After l'était aussi.

Ramener donc Millennium à place. Frank Black torche Mulder.

What !!! une série sur 'The Man in the High Castle....

C'est enfin officiel, X-Files est de retour pour 6 nouveaux épisodes.

pas sûre que ce soit une bonne chose de voir une Dana Scully et un Fox Mulder vieillissants courir après des aliens, mais bon, espérons que ce soit au mieux "bien".

[Fred Yankee]

Si y'a ben une série qui a mal vieillie c'est bien celle-là.

Je m'attends au pire.

Je me souviens que je trippais plus beaucoup plus jeune, mais j'ai réécouté quelques épisodes et avoir vécu une amère déception.

Gillian Anderson a très bien vieillit.

Voir la série Hannibal ou Crisis.

Si y'a ben une série qui a mal vieillie c'est bien celle-là.

Peut-être pour les premières saisons, mais pour les dernières saisons et les films ce n'est pas vraiment le cas et ils sont bien correct.

The 'X-Files' Revival Isn't About Fans Or Closure, It's About Netflix

The X-Files is returning to Fox as a limited-series event with a six-episode order that’s set to begin production later this year. Of course the news met yesterday with massive excitement among fans – particularly on social media. However, while it’s exciting, the truth of the matter is this revival has nothing to do with making those fans happy. It also has nothing to do with bringing closure to the show’s loose plot threads. In fact, it doesn’t even have anything to do with Fox trying to land a giant Nielsen score upon the revival’s premiere. No, all the X-Files reboot has to do with is a deal for the show’s exclusive streaming rights.

Back in November 2013, we discussed the reason why Nikita, The CW’s painfully low-rated action series, was given a final six-episode season that wouldn’t ultimately bring its total to the 88-episode minimum required for traditional syndication. The conclusion was rather simple: a series that concludes with a six-episode wrap-up would be more viable to outlets like Netflix NFLX +3.19% and Amazon since a show that has ended properly is more likely to be watched by customers on the service than one that didn’t. Similarly, this is what The X-Files revival is really about.

Just prior to its return last May, Fox struck a lucrative streaming deal with Amazon for the entire canon of 24. Previously, the show had been available on both Amazon and Netflix. The fact that Live Another Day was to follow only a short few weeks later made what was a dead property a hot commodity. Essentially, 24 became found money. The mistake, however, was in the money Fox spent to bring Jack Bauer back to life, and this is a mistake it isn’t about to make again – the explaining the short-order 6 episode season.

A revival of ­The X-Files means all of the show’s previous work is valuable again. Old fans are going to start re-watching it, and newcomers are going to start seeking it out in order to get caught up before the premiere. The reason this matters is because Fox can use that leverage to strike yet another highly valuable streaming deal with one of the big three (Netflix, Amazon and Hulu) to make some serious money off the currently dead series. Just as Transformers movies are about selling toys more than movie tickets, a new X-Files is all about selling Netflix subscriptions more than it is about Nielsen ratings. Fox doesn’t actually care that people want a new season of The X-Files, but they do care that Netflix would pay big money to stream the show exclusively in order to allow people the chance to catch-up beforehand. Like 24, X-Files is now nothing more than found money for 20^th Century Fox Television.

It’s actually this logic that will be the reason why shows like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Reaper will never be revived. A network revives an old, cult show to make the original investment viable. Fox network won’t benefit from the airing of new X-Files episodes, but its sister studio will – which ends up benefiting Fox network in the long run. Fox would never air more Sarah Connor Chronicles because it’s a Warner Bros. show, so the only entity that benefits from a streaming deal that would happen because of such an announcement would be Warner Bros.

24: Live Another Day was the show’s lowest rated season, but it didn’t matter because Amazon paid big money for it anyway based on expectation. The same will be true for Heroes Reborn later this year, and it will be true again for The X-Files. Don’t kid yourself into thinking Fox cares about your desire to see Mulder and Scully’s journey come to a proper conclusion. To them, you’re nothing more than leverage for the likes of Amazon, Netflix and anyone else who would pay for the right to steam exclusively.

Une interview intéressante de Chris Carter.

http://xfilesnews.co...n-xfilesrevival

Donc ça va être un mélange de stand-alones et d'épisodes mythologiques.

La vieille team de scénaristes, le duo Glen Morgan & James Wong ainsi que Darrin Morgan sont de retour.

Bien que Carter a dit qu'il ne prendrait pas en compte les évènements de la saison 10 en comic book ça quand même été comfirmé par un éditeur d'IDW sur son facebook que ça restait encore canon mais que les 6 nouveaux épisodes et cette saison 10 en comic book ont leurs propres arcs. Donc le comic book c'est un peu comme l'univers étendue de Star Wars.

Et une saison 11 a été annoncé.

Suivi d'une interview avec Joe Harris.

Et Smoking Man est de retour mais bon c'était déjà le cas dans la saison 10.

Je serais porté à croire qu'avec cette mini saison qui va probablement voir le jour en été 2016, ça va ouvrir la porte pour un troisième film pour 2018.

Début des premiers épisodes de The X-Files en HD sur Netflix:

[Jason Frost]

Le série va être en onde dès le début de l'année prochaine, plus précisément le dimanche 24 janvier 2016 et ensuite les lundis suivants à partir du 25 janvier 2016.

Lorsque la série de Gotham va être en pause après le temps des fêtes, la mini saison de 6 épisodes pour le retour de The X-Files va occuper sa case horaire, puis Gotham va reprendre sa place comme auparavant quand The X-Files sera terminé.

Eagerly anticipated six episode event series The X-Files is being benched until January, when it will kick off with a two-night premiere on Sunday January 24th following the NFC Championship Game at 10pm. The series will then move to the 8pm time-slot on Monday nights from January 25th, where it will continue to air for the following four weeks. After it concludes its run, Gotham will once again assume the slot.

Le retour de X-Files pourrait être le backdoor pilot pour un nouveau spinoff à la série?

Is Fox Eyeing an X-Files Spinoff Starring Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose?

How’s this for a wild conspiracy theory: Fox’s upcoming X-Files revival doubles as a backdoor pilot for a possible new series starring The Flash‘s Robbie Amell and Six Feet Under‘s Lauren Ambrose.

Crazy, right?! Well, rumor has it the idea to potentially spin off Mills and Einstein, the new alien-hunting FBI agents played by Amell and Ambrose in the forthcoming continuation, was bandied about. But it appears the project has gone the way of the Smoking Man (AKA it’s dead… but could come back to life?).

When I spoke to series creator Chris Carter last month at New York Comic-Con, he didn’t deny that the potential for a new, Amell-and-Ambrose-fronted series was out there. But he didn’t confirm it either. Instead, he noted that the pair’s X-Files contracts do not contain “a series deal beyond” the six-episode revival, adding, “People can speculate, but [their pacts] weren’t negotiated that way.”

Asked if the thought of an Amell/Ambrose X-Files offshoot ever crossed his mind, Carter replied, “Right now I’m focused on doing the show with David [Duchovny] and Gillian [Anderson].”

Speaking of which, the X-Files returns with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, Jan. 24 following the NFC Championship Game, and continuing with its time period premiere on Monday, Jan. 25 (8/7c). In addition to Carter, Anderson and Duchovny, cast members Mitch Pileggi and William B. Davis will be on hand for the event series, as will writer-producers Glen Morgan, James Wong and Darin Morgan.
