One topic Fox executives had to address at the network’s upfront presentation was whether another “X-Files” event series is in the works, and the network brass sounded an optimistic note.

Deadline.com quotes Fox TV Group Chairman Dana Walden saying: “We have had conversations with [creator] Chris Carter and [stars] David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. I believe everyone is on board to do another installment of the show.”

Fox TV Group Chairman Gary Newman added: “Conversations are ongoing. I can tell you that all of them would like to do more of these, and certainly the network and studio want to do more.”

The target for the next installment is reportedly the 2017-18 season.
