The X-Files creator Chris Carter still hopes to resolve the divisive Season 11 finale with a new project, though a separate reboot is currently in development at Hulu.
For a franchise that shaped decades of pop culture, supernatural television, and late-night viewing habits, the story of Mulder and Scully might not be finished just yet. Franchise creator Chris Carter has revealed that he is still holding onto a major plan to continue the narrative following the polarizing Season 11 finale that aired back in 2018. Speaking in a recent interview with IGN, Carter discussed his upcoming Director's Cut release titled The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Vrach Frankenshteyn, which arrives on Hulu and Disney+ on August 14, 2026.
During the conversation, the veteran creator touched on the unfinished plot threads left hanging after the episode My Struggle IV, confirming that he still has a grand reveal in mind if the opportunity arises to bring his specific vision back to the screen. While Ryan Coogler is currently developing a separate reboot pilot for Hulu, Carter noted that he wants to give that project respectful space while still keeping his own continuation plans alive. Whether that means a movie or another television run remains uncertain, but the creator remains eager to properly address the lingering storylines that left longtime fans divided.
Originally reported by Wesley Yin-Poole at IGN, the full interview dives deep into studio censorship battles from the past, creative changes made for the upcoming Director's Cut, and the enduring legacy of one of television's most iconic investigative partnerships.
