The reboot will be shot this summer in Vancouver and is set to be released in 2016.
“Vancouver is the perfect place and I think anyone who lives here knows that,” said Carter. “I’ve shot over 200 episodes of TV in this city.”
Carter was sure not to spill any spoilers about the plot of the coming episodes. Though he said the miniseries could extend beyond a six-episode run depending on the outcome.
X-Files – For the first five seasons the show was shot around Metro Vancouver, but shifted to Los Angeles starting with the sixth.
