David Duchovny says The X-Files revival will be “like a six-hour movie”

May 2, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Back in March it was confirmed that Fox is to reopen The X-Files with a new six-part series that will reunite David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. As the new episodes gear up to go into production this summer, Duchovny has been talking to THR about the franchise and its return to television following 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

“When I was doing the show, I always assumed – because we started to do the movies – that we would naturally transition to not carrying the load of doing a full season of the show but doing a movie every four or five years. That didn’t work out with the movies. … [The second movie] did well, but I guess not well enough. Fox made some mistakes with that movie that hurt the franchise and they didn’t seem to want to do another movie. So as the TV landscape changed and as it became conceivable to do this show without doing 22 or 25 [episodes] of them on television, then it seemed like a natural thing. We all started to think, ‘I don’t mind doing it on TV if we don’t have to do a full season.’ We just could make it like a six-hour movie.”

Before he returns as Mulder, David Duchovny finds himself on the trail of Charles Manson in the thriller series Aquarius, and you can watch the trailer here.
