This new season will run for 6 episodes, with production beginning this summer (via IGN). Both stars currently appear in shows this summer, with Anderson showing up in NBC's Hannibal and Douchovny acting in the Charles Manson-themed drama Aquarius on the same network. These shows will air back-to-back this summer, which is sure to please X-Files fans in a lesser way. "The X-Files' was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture - yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning," Fox's Gary Newman and Dana Walden said in a joint statement, according to Slash Film. "Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as The X-Files and we're ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they've been waiting for."
