Cassandra Szklarski from the Canadian Press interviewed Chris Carter this week and got some more information about the upcoming X-Files Revival. Here is the gist:
- According to Carter, the six episodes: "will all be of a piece, meaning that (they) won't feel disconnected. (they) will all feel as if it's taking place in what I would call television "real time."
- The relationship will have evolved. We will find them in a different place than the last time we saw them in IWTB. Regarding the nature of their relationship, Carter adds: "That relationship was kind of mysterious. Did they get together? Didn't they get together? If they've got a child together, when did they get together? These are questions that we will deal with and answer in good time."
- As we mentioned in our previous interview with Carter, the William storyline will be taken into account.
- A first draft of the first episode has been turned in to the studio and other writers.
- As mentioned in our interview, the credits will remain, with an update to them.
