Gillian Anderson on The X-Files reboot: ‘I’m not saying no’

It’s been over 30 years since The X-Files first debuted on television screens, and yet the cult show is arguably more relevant than ever. In our post-truth age, misinformation is rife, aliens are other supernatural entities have entered the mainstream, and conspiracy theories are around every corner, from fashion campaigns to Kate Middleton’s public disappearance and beyond. 

Last December, it was confirmed that the show would be returning as a reboot in ”the near future” with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler at the helm. While Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, who starred as Dana Scully and Fox Mulders in the original show, have previously expressed mixed feelings about a remake, it seems the possibility for a reunion might now actually be on the cards.
