New X-Files Series News: David Duchovny on the New 'X-Files' Revival Series
Following last week's announcement that Fox has already given the needed green-light for the revival of the '90s phenomenal sci-fi TV series "The X-Files," the internet once again took off when more information about the upcoming revival show was served by none other than its lead star, David Duchovny.
Playing as the FBI special agent, Fox Mulder, Duchovny was recently interviewed by The New York Times about his new series "Aquarius." The talk expectedly segued to "X-Files" which he admits wasn't "really a cult show."
"It was actually a big hit. People call it a cult show because of the subject matter," he said.

He went on to confirm that the new take of the story will be consisted of six episodes and will follow on its "Monster of the Week" set-up as well as its expansive mythology.
"We're gonna do both. I'm pretty sure it's gonna begin and end with the mythology," he revealed.
He went on to say that filming for the new segments would happen in Vancouver which, as CBR said, would take advantage of the location's "misty atmosphere" that will help bring out the show's signature "spooky tone."
The 54-year-old New York native further insisted that the new "X-Files" will be the same as before.
"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," he added.
