There is little doubt that the 90s wouldn't be the same without The X-Files. After all, the Fox TV series not only explored urban legends and conspiracies but also introduced the enigmatic partners Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Sadly, it doesn't look like the show will continue in the future. Still, that hasn't stopped David Duchovny from admitting he's "always up" for a possible return as the FBI special agent!
David Duchovny recently spoke to Yahoo Entertainment where he opened up about the possibility of returning as Fox Mulder if The X-Files gets another reboot. Not surprisingly, Duchovny was enthusiastic about the idea.
"I thought the first seven years were enough! But I'm always up for more, clearly," Duchovny said. He then added that he was recently reminded of what makes the show so great.
"Someone sent me a clip of Joel McHale from the 2016 episodes we did, and it's a spot-on description of where we're at six years later. I don't think [X-Files creator] Chris Carter gets enough credit for being [prescient]," Duchovny stated.
But what could happen if The X-Files returns for Season 12? Duchovny said it didn't matter since anything could happen.
"Forget about the ins and outs of plots and who gets pregnant or who gets shot. I mean, every show turns into a soap opera, so you have limited options. People are going to die or get pregnant or go to prison, right? Or become president," he said.
For now, it isn't clear if there will be another season of The X-Files. After all, Gillian Anderson had publicly stated that she was done with the series and we can't imagine the show moving forward without Dana Scully. In the meantime, Duchovny has just released the novella The Reservoir, which is now available at your favorite bookstores.
