“It just feels like such an old idea. I’ve done it, I did it for so many years, and it also ended on such an unfortunate note,” Anderson said. “In order to even begin to have that conversation [about another season] there would need to be a whole new set of writers and the baton would need to be handed on for it to feel like it was new and progressive. So yeah, it’s very much in the past.”

Not looking good.
I’d be okay with a reboot, though, new blood could help a lot, I think.
I don’t understand why there wasn’t a spinoff. I love mulder and scully, but their time has passed for sure. It was a very 90s show. It could become a very interesting 2020s show with vast conspiracies and shady dealings, but it has to be a new show. Could be based off of the old one, but it needs to leave old X-Files in the past.
I watched a good video about the Simpsons. For the last 10 years the writers were told “We had our glory days from seasons 3-9, try to recapture that”. Now they’re being told under Disney “the glory days are gone, we can’t recapture that. The world has changed. Try new ideas, those ideas that you’ve been too afraid to try”. Who would guess, Simpsons is getting better the last couple of seasons.
Let the writers off of their leashes. Let them make something new out of the old ideas. It may turn out better than studio execs assume. Better than the Poochie equivalent that was X-Files season 11.
There were two spinoffs: The Lone Gunmen and Millennium. Neither was particularly successful though Millennium at least ran for a few seasons and received a number of awards its first couple of seasons.
There were actually two spin-off shows: The Lone Gunmen and Millennium. Granted, I think Millennium was retconned into being an X-Files spinoff show after it was cancelled so that the storyline could be wrapped up in an X-Files episode.

There was a spinoff. It was about those 3 conspiracy dudes who I can’t remember their names.
It wasn’t very good
I’d much rather another season of Hannibal of she were to get into another TV series tbh.
