One of the most influential series of all time, The X-Files originally limped to an unsatisfying series finale, followed by an even less satisfying movie, The X-Files: I Want To Believe.
While The X-Files is indeed returning for an eleventh season on Fox, it will concentrate more on standalone stories rather than its own convoluted mythology which resulted in some of the most polarizing aspects of the tenth season.
That the network is acknowledging a course correction is needed is a good sign that The X-Files might be getting back on track.
The season will consist of ten total episodes with a much stronger emphasis on the standalone stories that made the show what it is.
