Chris Carter has been hinting about a project in the works with AMC, and now The Hollywood Reporter has the first details. The series, Area 51, is based off of the book of the same name by Annie Jacobsen.
The project is now officially in development. It is described as "A contemporary conspiracy thriller revealing the true story behind the infamous Area 51, America's most mysterious military installation".
We're sure that Fox Mulder will be turning in. Until then though, we'll keep you updated on the lastest details as they emerge.
With the release of The X-Files: Conspiracy #2, IDW marks the end of this year’s crossover event that put us on a very entertaining journey, visiting the realities of The X-Files and Lone Gunmen, The Crow, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Ghostbusters.
The issue released today brings the story that began in January 2014 full circle, to where the Lone Gunmen received information from the future that a deadly virus would be making its way around to wipe out all of mankind. Their search for the truth and a cure not only involved the help of Mulder and Scully, but also scattered clues throughout the realities of the five franchises that crossed the tale.
Conspiracy #2 continues the jovial tone that this event has carried in the previous issues, but feels sturdier than the rest. It mixed effectively both the wrap-up of the story while also giving space to moments that are key to the characters.
