In September of 1993 a television show premiered on Fox that became a cultural phenomenon all around the world. The show focused on FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Skully as they investigated paranormal activity, often centered around extraterrestrial origins. The show was called The X-Files.
The show became popular among UFO enthusiasts, science fiction fans, and mystery fans due to its interesting mixture of science fiction, mystery, and conspiracy theories as topics of investigation for the protagonists.
The show was created by Chris Carter. The show is considered a hallmark series of the 1990s due to its appeal to those who mistrusted the government, had an interest in spirituality, and extraterrestrial possibilities.
The series pilot featured Dana Skully (played by Gillian Anderson) who is brought on by the FBI to work in the X-Files department, which is looked down on by her peers on the basis that it is centered around the paranormal and that it is run by Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) who has earned himself the nickname Spooky due to his belief in the paranormal, particularly in the belief that his sister was abducted by aliens. Skully's job is more than that of working with Mulder, however. She has been brought on to work with him in order to debunk his findings due to her skeptical nature.
However, as the series progressed, she constantly found her skepticism and logic challenged by the unexplainable. As the series progressed, romantic tension built between Mulder and Skully and this led to the speculation of many fans that a romantic relationship between the two would take place. However, this did not happen until the very end of the series.
The series proved so popular, that a motion picture was released in 1998 entitled The X-Files: Fight the Future and was a major financial and critical success. After the end of the series in 2003, fans pondered whether or not a sequel would ever be filmed, with optimism at first, but as the years rolled by, that optimism waned.
Even the actors seemed to not have faith in the production of a new film. However, in late 2007 it was announced that a script for an untitled sequel had been written with both Duchovny and Anderson to reprise their roles to show what happened to the protagonists after the cliffhanger ending of the series. Filming began in December and it is expected to be released in July of 2008.
