Fox Brings Back "X-Files"
Just one day before the network was set to announce its 2001-02 fall lineup--purportedly with or without its long-running sci-fi hit--Fox has secured a deal with creator Chris Carter to keep the show going for a ninth season.
Carter's X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen, wasn't so lucky--the comedy won't be back next fall after a poorly rated midseason run, Reuters reports.
Representatives for Fox would not provide any specifics Wednesday, saying the fall lineup wouldn't be announced until Thursday. But the advance word certainly answers some burning programming questions, after Fox reportedly prepared three different fall schedules--one with and two without its sci-fi staple.
For each of the past two seasons, one of the biggest mysteries surrounding The X-Files was whether it would be on Fox's schedule at all. Last May, negotiations also went down to the wire, but Carter ultimately signed on for another season, and costar David Duchovny, who had waged a nasty legal battle over his residuals from the show, agreed to appear in a handful of episodes.
Next season, Duchovny will probably only appear in an occasional cameo, the Fox spokesman told Reuters. With Duchovny's sporadic appearances this season, Gillian Anderson's character Dana Scully has found a new partner in Robert Patrick, who plays straight-laced G-man John Doggett.
The show's season finale airs Sunday, with Scully and Doggett racing to protect Scully's unborn child. Anderson signed a deal last July locking her into The X-Files for at least one more season.
Still, the X-Files mystery was said to be the final piece in Fox's fall lineup--a schedule that reportedly will include three new sitcoms and two new dramas. If The X-Files hadn't come back for a ninth season, Fox was prepared to replace it on Sunday night with either Boston Public or the new drama, 24, Daily Variety reports.
But as it turns out, X-Philes won't need to concern themselves with those conspiracy theories.
