'The X-Files' Revival News: Director Teases Plans for New Season
Expect New Faces on 'The X-Files' Revival
After the success of "The X-File" revival, there is a lot of anticipation for the return of the classic series.
More on Mulder & Scully
The return of fan favorite characters Mulder and Scully had many viewers wishing for more. Like fans, creator of "The X-Files" is hoping to see more of the couple. Chris Carter recently spoke to Den Of Geek about what the future holds for the hit series. He said that if "The X-Files" were to present a new season, it will continue following the story of Mulder and Scully. He explained that this is due to the connection that the fans have with the two cahracters.

He explained, "But it really is, I believe, the characters of Mulder and Scully [and] what they represent to people. Scully is a strong female protagonist, independent, smart. And I believe one of the nicest things about Mulder, a thing that makes him a special character, is that he allows Scully that independence, and yet he is very protective of her at the same time, and respectful of her."
New Characters
Aside from the two classic characters, the revival shows a new set of faces that were reminiscent of a younger Scully and Mulder. Their presence gave fans speculations that the new characters could be explored in the possible new episodes.
Carter explained, "You know, Fox had come to me at one point and said would you be interested in doing this without Mulder and Scully, and I hadn't ever thought about that, and actually I don't know that I would do that. But it was an interesting question and so I thought, I'm going to play with that idea, and introduce younger mirror images of Mulder and Scully and see what that does to the story-telling, and I found an episode where I thought it suited that approach, and I found two terrific actors to play those parts, and so I think it was a gamble that paid off."
Blu-Ray and DVD Releases
While Carter did not share whether a new season is currently in progress, fans can expect to enjoy the revival series on DVD and Blu-Ray. Carter explained that the sets will include exclusive material that fans will enjoy. He teased, "There's a terrific Making Of feature in the Blu-Ray release, that was done so lovingly by a woman named Julie Ng – that alone I think makes the purchase worth the price. I think that if you have any love of the show beyond the show, you're going to be well rewarded."
