Yeah, it was pretty good. I got it via BTN so I didn't see the promo for next week. But that DOES sound like they're leaving the door open. Makes sense. They won the ratings again last night.... I wonder if band-aide nose graffiti will start showing up in metros around the country.... 
Not sure about Doggett unless they can bring him in for only an episode or two. Robert Patrick has his hands full with the CBS series Scorpion. They would have to plan it around his off time from there.
At least a cameo would be nice.
The whole world is dying from a virus, and the only person who is able to do anything about it is under attack by the bad guys, while her partner appears to be dying from the virus. It would b a huge upset if Fox did not capitolize on the ratings bonanza and bring it back next season.
It's coming back for 10 episodes this time...
'The X-Files' Revived Again for 10 New Episodes at Fox
A continuation of the 2016 event series, the run will air during the 2017-18 season.
The truth is still out there, and Fox appears determined to find it. Little more than a year after the brief-but-successful return of The X Files, the network has firmed up plans for another limited revival.
Fox announced Thursday that The X-Files will return for the 2017-18 broadcast season with 10 new episodes. Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are both signed on to reprise their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Creator and executive producer Chris Carter is on board as well. Fox executives have been vocal in their interest to produce more X-Files since the last year, but scheduling conflicts held up any official renewal.
“Iconic characters, rich storytelling, bold creators — these are the hallmarks of great TV shows," said FBC president David Madden. "And they are some of the reasons why The X-Files has had such a profound impact on millions of fans worldwide. Chris’ creativity, along with the brilliant work of David and Gillian, continue to propel this pop culture phenomenon, and we can’t wait to see what fresh mysteries Mulder and Scully uncover in this next chapter of The X-Files.”
Pricey as the vintage TV property may be, the 20th Century Fox TV production remains a favorite at both the network and the studio. Its revival averaged a 4.8 rating among adults 18-49 and 13.6 million viewers in live-plus-7 ratings — making it the No. 3 scripted show for the season behind Empire and The Big Bang Theory. Fox says an average 16 million viewers watched once multiplatform views were tallied.
For those keeping track, The X-Files is the clear ratings winner in Fox's streak of revivals, outpacing both iterations of 24 — the 2015 event series and spinoff Legacy — and the current brief stint for Prison Break.
More X-Files will be a much-needed shot in the arm on the drama front. Fox still has Empire — but not much else. Freshman Lethal Weapon is the only breakout in its freshman crop, and the recently departed Bones is expected to be joined by several hourlong series that won't return to the lineup next year. On the pilot front, options are relatively slim. Two (Neal Baer's The Beast, and Matt Reeves' The Passage) of Fox's six drama pilots have been pushed off-cycle. Remaining in contention are its Behind Enemy Lines reboot, a college sexual assault project, an Emily VanCamp medical entry and a Marvel take on X-Men. (Already picked up to series is Seth MacFarlane's hourlong space dramedy Orville.)
The 2016 run of The X-Files was billed as self-contained, but the choice to end the episodes with a cliffhanger implied that additional episodes were an inevitability. It certainly helps matters that David Duchovny's latest full-time gig, NBC drama Aquarius, has since been canceled. Anderson, however, still has British import The Fall and Starz's upcoming American Gods adaptation.
Production for the new X-Files episodes is set to begin summer 2017.
