Chris Carter open to X-Files season 12; watch season 11 trailer
Speaking in a new interview with Deadline about the show’s future, Carter notes that there is a willingness on his part to return, even if there is not all that much of a timetable one way or another as to when we’re going to have a chance to see this happen:
“I’m trying to finish this season. I certainly think the show has much more life in it. So, I can’t answer that question definitively but I can tell you that there are more stories to tell.”
While this is all fun to discuss, the reality still remains the same — it’s far too early to start discussing at length whether or not we are going to be seeing another season of the show. The actors have plenty of time to decide on their future, and Fox will still need to see if the ratings for the upcoming batch of episodes are to their liking. (In the end we do think they’ll be satisfied with it.)

If you look below you can see a first look at the upcoming batch of episodes premiering in the new year. What’s the focus this time around? It’s really so simple as William … but that’s also not simple at all. Mulder and Scully’s son is key to almost everything at this point in the story, but these two are going to be discovering (sooner rather than later) that searching for him is not anywhere near as easy as they may have first wanted to think that it was. This is going to take them some time and a whole lot of effort in order to find him. We do hope that they do, but there will probably be plenty of hurdles along the way — such is the case, often, with this show.
In the end, we do think that if you’re a lover of all things X-Files you’ll love this for a number of different reasons, whether it be the creepiness of it to some of the decisions that are made for some of the returning characters. There’s obviously a lot in the season that is not shown — if we were to have to make a guess, it would be that the majority of the footage shown is from the main mythology storyline written by Carter. The rest will be surprises here and there along the way.
