Channel 5 have announced Mulder & Scully will be back in 2018, when The X-Files event series returns to the channel for season 11.

The all-new 10-episode instalment will once again be executive produced by creator Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson returning to reprise their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. The series has been acquired from 20th Century Fox Television Distribution by Katie Keenan, VP, Acquisitions, Channel 5 and VIMN UK and is currently filming in Vancouver, Canada.

“We’re thrilled to confirm the return of The X-Files on Channel 5 in 2018,” comments Katie Keenan, VP, Acquisitions, Channel 5. “The last series was a huge success with a legion of new fans enjoying this iconic and contemporized series.”

The launch episode of The X-Files event series in 2016 was the most popular drama ever to air on the channel. In total 10.1 million viewers tuned into the series over the six-week run and over 1.1m people watched the show on VOD platform My5.

“We’re thrilled to be back in partnership with Channel 5 on this next event series of one of the biggest brands in TV that made such an impact in 2016,” said David Smyth, Senior Vice President and Development, EMEA + Managing Director of TCFTVD U.K. “The return of Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in Chris Carter’s The X-Files will truly be must-see TV!”

The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.
