X-Files Revival Will End On A Cliffhanger

The X-Files writer and creator Chris Carter has revealed the new series will end on a cliffhanger.

Stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny have reunited for six episodes , nearly 14 years after series nine of the cult TV show, famous for its "The Truth Is Out There" slogan, concluded.

There have been two movies since, but fans of the paranormal drama are already demanding to know if there will be more.

The screenwriter said: "It's funny, it's not, like, not enough that you're coming back. It's like, are you coming back for even more?"

"Fox did ask me a question about more, but it was sort of like an off-the-cuff thing, and they were wondering if there were going to be more, when that could be.

"I had no good answer for them because I don't know.

"But I think that everyone is waiting to see how we do in the ratings."

He continued: "We don't want to tie up all the loose ends, it might suggest that we're done with the show.

"But I'll leave it as a question: are we done, are we not?"

The comeback, due to air on Channel 5 from next week, opens with Mulder and Scully no longer in a relationship .

During filming last year, Duchovny and Anderson tweeted teasing photos from the set.

Carter said: "It was like the old days, and we all hit the ground running."
