X-Files returns next January after more than a decade off the air, and star David Duchovny says the new script is “fantastic.”
Duchovny, who starred on the original show from 1993 to 2002, described its relaunch as an emotional experience, according to an interview in Entertainment Weekly. “I got the first script this morning,” he told EW. “I just read it about an hour ago and I started crying reading the first page.”
The X-Files revival will run as a six-episode miniseries on Fox.
