It's his property.
If fox was getting rid of him as writer, he would still be executive producer.
There's still hope.

seriously i think that's just Duchovny as a person as he's aged. everything with him I've seen in the last ~15 years he's had no enthusiasm

Best news to wake up to.
I watched The X-Files for the first time last year and It became my favourite show of all time, so I'm hyped for more.

Oh yeah, let's do this!!
But seriously, stop dumbing things down for Mass audience. The season 10 was terrible in that regard.
X-files is slow, character driven and usually has a better than average record on using science. In previous series they would show the details, explain what Alien genes do, spend 2 episodes just making Scully cope with the révélations ans side effects.
In season 10 it's so fast and loose that it becomes absurd. Scully just tests for Alien DNA... How? What? I really hope that 10 episodes is long enough to get the pacing back on track.

Glad this is finally confirmed! Thought it might never end up happening.
I'm surprised a bit to see all the hate for season 10 here. I know people were disappointed with the Carter episodes, but I remember people being pretty positive on the season as a whole while it was airing. Personally, I thought it was a pretty good season. The only part I hated was how it ended. I felt the rest of the episodes ranged from okay to great.
And do people really think FOX is going to boot Carter? Lets be real, hes going to write and/or direct at least 2 episodes.

Fuck yes! Loved the new season. The comedic episode was one of my favorite episodes of the entire series.

Edit - Hope it's not about those new agents. Those guys did not work for me at all.

Let's do this again
My queen.

Ugh she still looks so good.
I used to wear out my pecker to her when I was a teenager and this show originally aired.
I was also afraid of being abducted by aliens so it was a complicated situation.

In TV, executive producer can just be a "thank you for playing" credit.

For those wondering why people were upset at the cliffhanger ending, personally I'm fine with a cliffhanger but many thought this was it and we would never see the show again and the thought of a cliffhanger being an end to the series is bullshit. Im glad its back.

It should be 4 mythology and 6 MotW episodes right? So start with 1 Myth then 2 MotW, repeat until the finale of 1 Myth. That would be a good way to pace the show.
Of course they could split it evenly and end on a 2 part Mythology finale.
Also everyone should expect the Mythology episodes to only get crazier and more absurd and dumber.

Guys Chris Carter isn't being kicked off. He can't be kicked off. It's HIS show. He has been head writer from day 1. There wouldn't be a new X-Files season if he was removed. No one in the cast would do it without him. It's his show, for better or worse. And always will be.
You can't say "don't let Chris Carter do" anything. It's his show, he is the boss, he has final say. Why would he fire himself?

A real human would say no such thing.
It's not his show, he created it but the studio owns it, they can get rid of him if they want to.

Not if they want Anderson or Duchovny, cause they're not doing it without him.
Meh, too bad. Then I guess I'm out after all.

Honestly, they just need better writers. The first 5-6 seasons were incredible. Season 10 was meh because the writing was meh.
Which is ultimately the showrunner's fault.
VincentMatts

It depends, they had a huge budget then. The show was really big.
Im positive that the budget was not as big this time around, and that will affect who you can hire. Maybe after the success of 10, there will be better writers. Im hoping.

They took it off? Could of sworn it was on Netflix, checking a second ago you're right its gone. Glad I own it all on bluray, still sucks though.

Canada still has it. US does not.

This is why I don't like Netflix as much as I could. The add/remove thing is really annoying. I get it, its all about the $$$$$ at the end of the day, but it would be better if stuff never left and just adding more to it.

After all this time, and with a short season, a retcon was fine really to get out from under all the old lore for a new audience.
Should have done all motw anyways.

Theyre obsessed with pushing their original content. Personally i prefer Xfiles to most of it. I watched the series 3 times and im still watching it.

Season 10 was really bad. Hope for the best I guess? Just give it a proper ending please. Not everything has to be dragged out until it's completely dry and dead.

The X-Files cannot be the X-Files in this day and age. They can do something in the same universe and maybe even with some of the same characters but not the X-Files.
I don't believe you, I'm going to need some evidence
