Fox Has Closed ‘The X-Files’

Fox has been cleaning house, canceling shows like The Exorcist and Lucifer, just to name a few. Today, another series got the ax. We all wanted to “believe” that “The X-Files” would be back for good, enough for at least a little while, but that just isn’t the case. Fox is closing down “The X-Files”, at least for now, network CEO and co-chair Gary Newman revealed today during a conference call with reporters. The news comes only two months after the eleventh season’s finale, which star Gillian Anderson stated would be her last. Following the finale, the series’ creator Chris Carter told TV Line, “I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be more X-Files, in some shape or form. I think there are lots more stories to tell and ways to tell them. I’m leaving this as a giant cliffhanger, and Gillian has announced that sh’s not coming back. Hard-core X-Files fans know there have been no real endings on the show.”

Horror Fuel’s X-Files Recap to Start January 9th

In honor of the X-Files revival, Fox Television had a pretty cool promotion running to honor a show whose pop culture impact has lasted nearly 22 years, “201 Days of the X-Files.” The promotion was done through social media and required fans to watch one episode a day, in order, until the series revival premier on January 24th. The Official X-Files Instagram and Twitter posted screen grabs with the season name and episode number for the day. While Fox was busy promoting the revival with posters, and teasers, some pretty neat fan art arose from the original “201 Days” promotion. Here is one of my favorites, provided by @201xfdoodles, where a fan drew a “doddle” of each episode. Even Agents Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) had some fun engaging with fans and answering questions during certain episodes. __________________________________ Being a long time fan of The X-files, I decided to play along and re-watch the series.
