5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, April 17, 2015 By Andrew Warren TV Media Still out there: After nearly a decade on the air, nine sea- sons and two big-budget mov- ies, FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully finally turned out the lights back in 2002 (with the second movie, 2008's "The X-Files: I Want to Believe," be- ing the outlier). As fans of "The X-Files" know, though, the truth is very much still out there. Fox's "The X-Files" started out as a creepy little cult hit, but it didn't take long for it to seize the pop culture con- sciousness in the 1990s. Now, more than a decade since the lights went dark on the dra- matic thriller that starred David Duchovny ("Californication") and Gillian Anderson ("The Fall"), "The X-Files" is set to re- turn for a special six-episode event series. Set to begin filming this summer in Vancouver, Canada, where the first several seasons of the original show were filmed, the new "X-Files" mini- series will pick up the storylines that have been left dangling since the 2008 film. Both Duch- ovny and Anderson are on board and, reportedly, excited, and there are reports that oth- er series mainstays, including Mitch Pileggi ("Dallas") and William B. Davis ("Continu- um"), have also been ap- proached. It's not just the on-screen talent that's coming back, ei- ther. Series creator Chris Carter is definitely on board, and two of the show's most beloved writers, Darin Morgan and James Wong, will also be re- turning. In "The X-Files," Duchovny stars as the "spooky" Fox Mul- der, an FBI agent with an inter- est in the supernatural. His partner is Dana Scully, a skeptic who becomes more open to the possibilities of the unex- plainable as the series pro- gressed. "The X-Files" was a huge hit during its airing, and fans have been clamoring for a conclu- sion to its overarching story arc for years. Whether or not the six-episode special event series will give that kind of closure is anyone's guess, but one thing is certain: for now, at least, the truth is still out there.
