The Creator of the “X-Files” allowed the continuation with the former actors

X-Files creator Chris Carter would like to continue the story of agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully featuring original actors David Duchovna and Gillian Anderson, he said in an interview with Page Six.

“I would love to have that opportunity. I think we need to wait for Coogler's series to find its audience and then figure out how we can do that given the uncertainties. I would love to do it in a series or movie format, Carter said.

According to the director, in four episodes of the last two returns of The X-Files, he laid the groundwork for a new story. In particular, Carter would like to continue the storyline related to Scully's pregnancy, which became known in the season 11 finale.

Carter is determined to wait until director Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot finds its audience. He called Coogler a brilliant director and said he wanted to see his approach to the series.

In October, Disney announced that streaming service Hulu ordered the production of a new series “X-Files” under the direction of Coogler. The main roles will be played by Daniel Dedwyler and Himesh Patel, who will play the new FBI agents. Coogler wrote the script and directed the pilot episode.

The X-Files is a science fiction series about two FBI special agents, Fox Mulder and Dan Scully, who investigate mysterious and scientifically inexplicable incidents. The roles of the main characters were performed by Duchovny and Anderson.

In 2015, Fox announced the return of "The X-Files" with Duchovna and Anderson in the lead roles. After a 13-year hiatus, the series returned to screens in 2016. Later came the 11th season, which ended in 2018 and was the last.
