THE X-FILES News Update: MARCH 2017

March didn’t bring any further solid news on the prospects for Season 11, I’m afraid, but there were a few other things worth noting.

Picture Book Announced



We don’t have a huge amount of information on this yet, but August will see the publication of The X-Files: Earth Children Are Weird, written by Kim Smith. If you’ve ever wanted to read about Mulder & Scully going camping together when they were children, then this could be the book for you! Those of us on the X-Cast team who are parents look forward to buying this for our children (OK, for ourselves) – you can read more about the book here.

X-Files: Origins To Return



Last summer’s X-Files: Origins comics, which concerned separate events in the life of young Mulder & Scully, were a real treat. It was nice to hear, then, that the series will return in June, with the same creative team at the helm. Click the link for more details.

Comics Reviews



Three new comics were released in March, and our own Tony Black reviewed them all for Flickering Myth. Click the links to find out what he thought about the second Deviations tale, the concluding part of the Contrarians storyline and the first issue concerning an event in Walter Skinner’s past.

Chris Carter’s House Up For Grabs



Fancy bidding for Chris Carter’s house? Of course you do! Well, his Malibu estate is on the market, and Variety has more information – looks nice, but it’ll cost you…

The X-Cast's New Home

As you may have noticed, we've moved from our previous address at Black Hole Media. You can find all of our old podcasts here now. Going forward, all new blog posts, including predictions for #TheXFilesEpisodeTournament, will be featured here exclusively. Visit our homepage to see exactly what else we've come up with.



That’s all for this month, I’ll be back next month with another news update. Until then, trust no one!

THE X-CAST #80 - Chris Carter's The After

THE X-CAST continues with host Tony Black investigating, in the first Spotlight episode on one of The X-Files' writers, Chris Carter's recent 2014 pilot, The After...

A group of strangers become trapped in a parking lot lift in Los Angeles on what appears to be a normal day, until upon working together to escape they emerge into a world devastated by some kind of unknown event which has caused mass panic. What they find as they explore this new landscape is a truth none of them could have imagined...

Joined once again by The Irish M0vie Blog's Darren Mooney, Tony explores the Amazon series, Carter's characters and story, and the themes of what he was trying to create with this brand new show - one which didn't get past the pilot episode.
