Agents Mulder and Scully may be headed back to the small screen. Speaking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Fox Group chairmen and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman revealed that the network is in talks to reboot "The X-Files," the hit supernatural drama starring Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny that ran from 1993 to 2002.

“It’s true that we’ve had some conversations on 'X-Files,'” Newman said. “We’re hopeful of being able to bring that back at some point.”

"Gary and I both worked [at 20th Century Fox Television] through the entire run of 'The X-Files,'" Walden added. "It was a great experience. We’ve maintained good relationships with [series creator] Chris [Carter], David and Gillian. We’re very hopeful, but it’s hard. The actors are very busy. They have a lot going on. Chris has a lot on his plate, so it’s just trying to carve out the time.”

Anderson, who played Agent Scully on the show, recently sparked fervor after expressing her desire for a series reboot during a Nerdist Podcast interview. Nerdist and the actress then set the Internet ablaze by asking fans to show their support for a return of the show with hashtag #X-Files2015.

Well, hashtaggers everywhere, it seems the dream may just come true.

That would be so cool!
X-Files was the first show that I really got into.

It would be AMAZING if they brought X-Files back for a limited run. People would go nuts! That was my very first fandom ever, too. As you can tell by my Agt Spooky name. :-)

OMG, yes, please! Both David and Gillian said they’re on board, so let’s make this happen FOX!

Oh! with David duchovny and Gillian anderson?

I had read this news, well just the title, but I thought that they were going to do it with other actors, but this is awesome, do you imagine?

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Yes, with David and Gillian! When it was first reported they said “reboot” which to everyone meant new actors and everyone was pissed off. Then they said it should have been “revival” because it will be with David and Gillian or not at all. Yay!! And they both want to do it, so let’s make this happen, FOX!
