"The X-Files" Season 11 is on its way to the small screen and fans are excited to see Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny's tandem once again. Being one of the longest-running series on television, the series had made a lot of changes to adapt to its audience.
In preparation for its release, the showrunners have booked the series to participate in the upcoming New York Comic-Con. According to TV Line, Twentieth Century Fox revealed that the first footage for "The X-Files" season 11 will be unveiled at the New York Comic-Con. In the said event, the series creator, Chris Carter, will be present and will be joined by the lead stars, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
Fans who are in New York can catch a glimpse of their favorite characters on October 9 at the Javits Center Main Stage. The panel is expected to give some exciting information and tidbits about "The X-Files" season 11. The series is slated to be aired in January 2018.
All-new paranormal cases
"The X-Files" season 11 will be returning with ten episodes. Although it can't be considered as a full season, fans are thankful that it's more than the previous season which only had six episodes. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reprise their roles as FBI agents who specialize in paranormal cases.
Although the field of paranormal activities is quite wide, the showrunners have revealed last month that there will be no mythology-themed episodes.
It is worth noting that "The X-Files" season 10 focused more on mythology episodes and were greeted with criticism and negative feedback.
The showrunners have previously explained that the mythology episodes were needed to explain to the viewers what was happening in the previous seasons. Now that it's all over and done with, they are cutting ties with the mythology episodes and explored new plot lines.
With that in mind, what could be the central focus of the ten episodes?
Stand-alone episodes pushes Mulder and Scully to new adventures
According to Entertainment Weekly, David Madden, FOX Entertainment chairman, revealed that eight out of the ten episodes for "The X-Files" season 11 will be standalone episodes. That means that the said episodes are not interconnected with any other episode in any way, opening doors for Mulder and Scully for new adventures and cases to solve.
"The X-Files" season 11 will pick up from the last scene of season 10 - the one with the big helicopter, and will immediately focus on an adventure that has a lot to do with Mulder and Scully's kid, William.
