Spin-off of iconic 90s BBC sci fi series is AXED before it’s even aired | The Sun

A SPIN-OFF of an iconic 90s BBC sci fi series have been axed before it even aired.

It was previously announced that an animated spin-off of The X-Files was in the works – but that it wouldn't be focusing on the show's characters Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

But it's been revealed that the development has been shelved, with Fox declining to comment on the decision.

The X-Files: Albuquerque was set to centre around an office of agents dealing with cases too ridiculous for Mulder and Scully to bother with.

Launched in 1993, the original X-Files aired on the BBC and Sky in the UK and made stars of Gillian Anderson [Scully] and David Duchovny [Mulder].

The series originally ran until 2002, with a brief reboot from 2016 to 2018.

However it's not all bad news for fans of The X-Files, as the show's original creator Chris Carter has revealed Black Panther director Ryan Coogler plans to "remount" it.

Speaking on CBC's On The Coast, he said: "I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast."
