, Fox realized it had to return fire in a major way so as not to be outdone by one of its competitors… so of course they used

In a surprising twist on this year’s Winter TCA presentation, the home of

did confirm talks are currently underway for a mini-series continuation of the Chris Carter series. However that’s where the news ends as the network did not state how many episodes were being considered, who would be returning if the event-series did in fact take place or what left over stories it would tackle.

Given the last movie sequel from 2008 didn’t address the series’ hanging thread of the apocalypse taking place, it seems a mini-series revival would be a good place to finally wrap things up the way they should have been back in 2002. As of now, all we can do is speculate – but hey, at least we can listen to Gillian Anderson and Chris Hardwick get the #XFiles2015 hashtag started on the Nerdist podcast!

isn’t all Fox is considering putting back in play as at the presentation it was also stated the network is thinking about more episodes of

, it was made clear there’s nothing more than ideas being thrown around at the moment, one of which would see the series continue without Kiefer Sutherland’s famed Jack Bauer (which would coincide with the rumor of Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan being groomed to take over the leading role of the show should Sutherland depart). In addition, it would work plot wise as, at least for an initial run, Jack is currently locked up with the Russians as per the end of

, this one throws us. Not so much because it’s a bad show – it’s actually a great show – but because unlike

, there are no hanging threads. Everything was wrapped up rather cleanly at the end of the series and then even more so in the direct-to-video one off,

… and then even more so again when the character of T-Bag was revived for a one-episode arc on A&E’s

Overall, a big news day for Fox and fans of their past slate of great TV… oh, and

YES!!! We are ready for more X-Files!! Just got my husband into it we are watching the whole thing from the beginning! This is perfect!!

Zachary Levi needs to be in a Star Trek TV series. End of story. Heros is awful. NBC needs to flush it away for good.  

Well, in classic Fox style, they will bring back the X-files for 2-3 episodes, then cancel it for being a damn good sci-fy show.

Prison Break unnecessary?  Clearly, the writer is delusional!  Prison Break was a fabulous show, and I would love to see what’s going on now with the, “Fox River 8″.  Bummer about Scoffield though.

I think the best way to do X-Files now, even with Gillian and David on-board, is a complete restart. That would more than help get out from beneath the byzantine mythology and let them tell new stories in a contemporary way, rather than be beholden to the show’s own legacy.

I so disagree. The mythology arch needs to be completed. This news has made my day. I still watch X-Files all the time!

#XFiles2015 !!!!! it worked!!! David Duchovny’s jeans are coming!

I cant wait hope to see many more x files episodes

Holy shit, guys.  Holy shit.   Is it really just that easy.   

Holy shit, guys.  Holy shit.  Is it really just that easy?
