Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny and Chris Carter keep seeking the truth that’s ‘out there’ as ‘The X-Files’ returns

“I think we were rusty,” Duchovny said of the 2016 season by phone shortly after Christmas.

“It felt like we were finding our way with it,” Anderson agreed. “It didn’t necessarily feel like what it used to be and what it could be. It didn’t feel like we were living its potential, necessarily.”

But, she said by phone from Vancouver, that unfulfilled sense of how great it could be served as motivation. “Part of my decision to come at it again one more time was to have an opportunity to do that. And certainly there’s more of an opportunity with 10 than there was with six, just because of the nature of the show and that it is so many different things, there are so many different worlds that we live in, and aspects of these characters that we get to play, and types of episodes that we do. So to have an opportunity to explore that full range through a larger arc was interesting, and with the hope and the understanding that that perhaps will create a better conclusion for ourselves and for the fans.”
