FOX TV Chairman and CEO Gary Newman joined Variety’s “Remote Controlled” podcast to talk 24, Prison Break, and of course The X-Files. When asked “are we going to see them again?” about the future of the show, here’s what Newman had to say:
“Uh I really don’t know. They’re a complicated group over there at X-Files, remember trust no one and all that. I guess I am the eternal optimist and I think we’ll actually get there. But I really couldn’t tell you what the timing is likely to be.”
Newman went on to cite the busy schedules of both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and scheduling conflicts as “impediments” to getting another season organized but also that he believes it “probably will” come together.
