Fox Planning "X-Files" Spinoff
Fox, home of the Gillian Anderson- and David Duchovny-led supernatural drama, has green-lighted a spinoff based on the show's beloved, dorky Lone Gunmen.
The network is banking on the proven appeal of Byers, Frohike and Langley, the Mulder-worshipping Paranoid Conspiracy Theorists played by Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood and Dean Haglund, to bring it a much-needed ratings boost.
The trio have often carried entire episodes of the X-Files when Duchovny and Anderson were MIA, and episodes where Mulder and Scully enlist their services always garner strong ratings.
Also on board is X-Files creator Chris Carter, who's signed on to produce the pilot for next fall. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show is being planned as a light drama with plenty of comedy-"think Mission Impossible for computer geeks."
Details are not yet available from the network on specifics, but the Reporter also says the show will also feature a competing theorist in the form of a gorgeous young woman whom the trio of geeks lust after.
The plugged-in X-Philes, who incidentally have elevated the Gunmen to cult status with several Web pages, are thrilled.
"Woo-Hoo!" writes one on the aus.tv.x-files newsgroup.
"I will be quite happy to watch the show," says another.
Fox, meanwhile, has yet to decide the fate of Carter's original brainchild. On Tuesday, Sandy Grunshow, chairman of Fox Television Entertainment Group, said the X-Files chances of survival next season are "50-50."
Still, the prognosis is not good. Duchovny's contract is up this season and he is suing the network over a recent syndication deal. Anderson is contractually bound to return next season but has also voiced her desire to retire from the show. However, both have said they'd do more X-File movies.
