The X-Files: Albuquerque — an animated comedy spinoff of the live-action classic — is not moving forward at Fox, TVLine has learned.
The live-action X-Files ran for nine seasons on Fox (1993-2002), spawned two feature films (in 1998 and 2008) before eventually returning 2016 for the first two revival seasons.
The X-Files: Albuquerque, of which original series creator Chris Carter was attached to exec-produce (but not write/showrun), was not slated to revolve around David Duchovny‘s Mulder and Gillian Anderson‘s Scully.
The network, which declined to comment for this story, first announced the project’s development back in August 2020.
