This new chapter in the series is about an office full of misfit agents who investigate the X-Files cases which are too weird, or downright crazy for Mulder and Scully (portrayed by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson respectively) to pursue. They are effectively the B-Team of the agency.
20th Television and Fox Entertainment with Bento Box as the animation studio will present the show. A script has been penned and presented to the network with The X-Files creator Chris Carter and Gabe Rotter on board to executive produce.
The X-Files protagonist duo of David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will not be appearing on the show or be involved in the series production. The original show had gone on for nine seasons on Fox from 2002, before it was revived for two seasons in 2016.
After Anderson had declared her desire to stop playing the role, the series was fully ended. But the creator Chris Carter said that the franchise is not over, as X-Files can come back in any shape or form. There are a lot of un-tapped story lines in the X-Files universe and as any X-Files fan will know, the series cannot truly ever end, Carter added.
