New ‘X-Files’ Writers Room Is 100 Percent Male So Far
The internet quickly noticed that Carter had once again assembled an all-male group of writers to tell the next installment in the story of supernatural-chasing FBI agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson).
The original show premiered in 1993 and for nine seasons, followed by two feature films and a spinoff “Lone Gunmen” series.
Duchovny and Anderson returned to their roles in Fox’s 2016 revival limited series — which ran for six episodes — to mixed reviews from critics and fans.
The 2016 revival writers’ room did have two credited female writers, Margaret Fearon and Anne Simon, who is a longtime science adviser on the show.
