David Duchovny on returning to The X-Files

March 29, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Having been rumoured at the start of the year, Fox confirmed this past week that it is to reopen The X-Files for a new six-episode series, which will reunite creator Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. Following the news, The New York Times caught up with Duchovny, where he shared a few words on the show and its upcoming return.

“The good things are working with Chris and Gillian again, and getting to do this show again and see what we’ve got,” states Duchovny, who plays FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder. I’m as curious as anybody else. I’m amazed that there’s still an appetite for it and I’m touched. I think the frame of the show is so expansive and so unique and so influential, that it should feel present… I don’t know much at all. We’re gonna do six episodes. We’re gonna do [serialized and monster of the week]. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna begin and end with the mythology. But I really don’t know.”

“The time is right because we got our [act] together to do it,” he continues. “In terms of culturally or what people want to see, I don’t know. I imagine if we waited too much longer people would eventually lose interest. It’s different from something like Star Trek, which started out campy and then, especially with the J.J. Abrams stuff, became legit somehow. You might argue with me, but I always felt like we were legit. We’re still trying to do the same show. It’s not like were trying to make it 2.0, or whatever the .0 is now. 3.0. We’re gonna make the same show. But it’ll be interesting because Gillian and I are older. I don’t want to act like it’s 20 years ago.”
