Es geht ein wenig voran mit der Reboot-Planung:
That X-Files Reboot Is Actually Happening | Vanity Fair

Womit sich irgendwann die Frage stellt: Um was soll es in der wahrscheinlichen Mini-Staffel eigentlich gehen? Der nie richtig aufgelösten Alien-Hintergrundgeschichte einen vernünftigen Abschluss zu geben dürfte alles Andere als leicht werden.
It seems like the show's biggest problem is the "dead weight" continuity from the end of its run circa 2000-02, when Duchovny left and viewership dropped precipitously. Most viewers have probably forgotten that Mulder and Scully have a son, who'd now be about 16, or that neither of them are still with the Bureau. Or all those dead supporting cast members, or the storylines involving the Greys, the black oil, the bees, 2012, etc. And let's not forget that Millennium took place in the same universe... or maybe we should.
