The all-new 'X-Files'

Creator Chris Carter talks about life after Mulder ... and even Scully

Is there life after Fox Mulder? That's something that "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz are going to find out when the series' ninth season launches next month on Fox.

"There are new characters who are sharing the stage with the old characters, and by necessity, they're driving the show in new directions," Spotnitz recently told the Hollywood Reporter about the addition of Annabeth Gish, Robert Patrick and others to the series. "So it's definitely 'The X-Files' televisino series that we've all come to know so well over the past eight years, but it feels very fresh and different."

Carter said that the first part of the new season will focus primarily on Scully's (Gillian Anderson) baby, who was born in last season's finale.

"There's something afoot, and it involves what could be looked at as a new conspiracy, but one far different from the one that Agent Mulder (Duchovny) pursued all those years," Carter said. And even with Duchovny gone, there are "still plenty of stories left to tell," he said.

"I never imagined telling these stories without David to a point, and now I have to imagine telling them without Gillian, but I think that it's possible."

Anderson's contract with the show runs out at the end of this season, and the actress has indicated she has no plans to renew it for a 10th season, although neither her nor Duchovny have ruled out a future "The X-Files" movie.
