[But WHY?] Animated “The X-Files” Series in Development at Fox

By Mary Anne ButlerAugust 28, 20201 Min Read

While we’re still DESPERATELY trying to forget the absolutely horrible 11th season of FOX’s mainstay supernatural drama series “The X-Files,” we’re now also scratching our heads as to why someone is developing an animated spinoff of said show.

Seriously. Did….did you guys not SEE that travesty that was season 11? It was unforgivable.

HOWEVER- this animated series will have Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko (Netflix’s Paradise PD) will pen the pilot. The pair will also serve as executive producers alongside Carter (WHO IS NOT WRITING OR SHOWRUNNING, THANK GODS) and Gabe Rotter. Animation studio Bento Box will handle the art.

Reportedly, it’ll center on the agents (or possibly interns?) who take on the cases that are just too silly for the more seasoned agents to handle.

No, Mulder and Scully aren’t currently expected to have any appearances at this time.

We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.

The Truth Is Out There.

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
