The X-Files finished its eleventh season in 2018. Since then, fans have wondered about whether or not the science fiction series has been renewed for a twelfth season. The X-Files was a hit for Fox Network when the initial seasons came out, but by the time the eleventh season rolled out, the long-term story arc planned by the creators, received criticism.
Here’s all The X-Files Season 12 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a The X-Files Season 12 release date?
At the moment, The X-Files Season 12 does not have a release date as there are currently no plans for it to happen.
The reason that there are no plans for The X-Files Season 12 to happen is because the creator, Chris Carter had issued a statement to Deadline, saying that there are plans for The X-Files series to be rebooted with a new cast. Ryan Coogler, who helmed the MCU’s Black Panther films and Creed, will develop the rebooted series. Moreover, Gillian Anderson, who played Dana Scully in The X-Files has expressed disinterest in returning to the series in a TCA press tour.
The X-Files stars David Duchovny as Fox Mulder, Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully, Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, Robert Patrick as John Doggett, Tom Braidwood as Melvin Frohike, Bruce Harwood as John Fitzgerald, Dean Haglund as Richard “Ringo” Langly, Annabeth Gish as Monica Reyes, and Nicholas Lea as Alex Krycek, among other cast members.
Where is The X-Files Season 12 coming out?
There are no plans for The X-Files Season 12 to come on Fox. Thus, there are also no plans for The X-Files Season 12 to stream on Hulu and Freevee.
The official synopsis for The X-Files reads:
“The exploits of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who investigate X-Files: marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of aliens and the paranormal while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder’s discoveries that debunk Mulder’s work and thus return him to mainstream cases.”
