On September 10, 1993, FOX premiered a series that would go on to become one of the most popular series in television history and also make Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson household names.
The truth is still out there.
On October 9th, 2015, hundreds of lucky X-Files fans packed the main ballroom at the Javits Center for an exclusive screening of the first episode of the upcoming The X-Files event series followed by a panel and Q & A.
In case you've been living under a rock, The X-Files is returning as a limited series on Fox. It made its U.S. debut at NY Comic-Con this weekend, and The PC Principle was there.
In what could be his final appearance on Late Night with David Letterman, David Duchovny stopped by the show to talk about his upcoming new NBC series Aquarius. The conversation was soon steered in the direction of the recently announced revival of the beloved series The X-Files.
It's official! The truth is still out there.
Thirteen years after the original series run, FOX has ordered the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, six-episode event series which will be helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.
NBC has given a straight-to-series 13-episode order for the drama “Aquarius,” starring two-time Golden Globe Award winner David Duchovny in his return to broadcast television.
In this gripping drama series set in the late 1960s, Duchovny stars as a Los Angeles police sergeant with a complicated personal life who starts tracking a small-time criminal and budding cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to join his “cause.” The name of that man is Charles Manson. The twists and turns of a complicated undercover operation will lead Duchovny’s character and his young partner to the brink of Manson’s crimes that will eventually lead to the Tate-LaBianca murders in subsequent seasons.
