Carter Gets His "X" On
After intensive negotiations with 20th Century Fox Television, the mastermind behind TV's most popular paranormal drama has sealed a deal that will keep him on board The X-Files through its ninth season.
Although Fox offered him the option, Carter has no intention of pulling a Steven Bochco or David Kelly and giving up his daily duties for a consultant role on the show.
Instead, Fox executives say he'll be as hands-on as ever, helping veteran producers Frank Spotnitz, Vince Gilligan and John Shiban shape the future of The X-Files in a post-Mulder and Scully world and angle the show in a new direction.
"Chris has so many ideas for this show as we go forward," Gail Berman, Fox's President of Entertainment, told the Hollywood Reporter. "Chris and Frank and John and Vince are the life and breath of this series. We are thrilled that he is coming back with his team in place."
While the show has already lost star David Duchovny, who bowed out at the end of last season to pursue a movie career, the big mystery Carter and his fellow producers face next season is how to keep the conspiracies going once Emmy-winning star Gillian Anderson leaves the long-running sci-fi hit as expected at the end of next season.
Anticipating her departure, Carter hired some new blood last season in hopes of reinventing the The X-Files. Former Terminator 2 villain Robert Patrick was brought in to play hard-headed G-Man John Doggett, while actress Annabeth Gish was recruited to play FBI Agent Monica Reyes, who helped Doggett search for the abducted Mulder.
It's too early to tell whether the new additions will pay off, but Carter's hoping his luck doesn't run out like it did when his X-Files comic spinoff, The Lone Gunmen, was shelved after a poorly rated midseason run.
Fight the future, indeed.
