Q: “The X-Files” is my favorite show of all time. I realize it’s better to leave it alone and not revive it because it might not be the same quality as the original, but I would be satisfied with another “X-Files” movie – or two. Are there any in the works? – S.N.
A: “The X-Files,” starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, ran on FOX network TV from 1993 to 2002, but did you know that the series already had a revival in 2016 with two additional seasons? Anderson, who played Special Agent Dana Scully, stated that season 11 was it for her. However, recently it was announced that an animated “X-Files” series is in development for FOX with the show’s original creator, Chris Carter, executive producing. However, this version will feature new characters and have a comedic take on its unsolved mysteries.

As for Anderson, you can soon see her in “The Fall” on the Ovation channel, where she plays a British homicide detective chasing a serial predator played by Jamie Dornan. If the show sounds familiar, it’s because it originally aired in 2013 on the BBC network. Ovation will re-air all three seasons beginning Saturday, Oct. 10, at 7 pm ET. Up next for Duchovny is ”The Craft,” a remake of the 1990s film of the same name about a coven of teenage witches.
Q: I can’t wait for the new shows to premiere this fall. I realize they’ll probably be later than normal, but will we have to wait until 2021 for shows like ”Chicago Med” and ”This Is Us”? Those are my two favorites. – F.C.
A: The fall TV season has indeed been postponed, but the good news is you won’t have to wait until 2021 for your favorites to return. NBC has announced that the family drama ”This Is Us” will be back with a two-hour premiere on Nov. 10. It’s hard to believe the hit show is starting its fifth season. Creator Dan Fogelman promises ”a rebirth” next season and said that the writers are incorporating the COVID-19 pandemic into the storyline. Meanwhile, ”Chicago Med” will broadcast new episodes starting Nov. 11, with “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” following in the hour timeslots the same evening.
Q: I was wondering when “Star Trek Enterprise” with actor Scott Bakula aired on TV? – P.G.
A: Scott Bakula became a household name back in 1989 when he starred as a time-traveling scientist in the hit series “Quantum Leap.” In 2001 he joined the “Star Trek” franchise “Enterprise” as Cmdr. John Archer, which aired until 2005.
“Enterprise” was set 100 years before William Shatner’s Captain Kirk and the original “Star Trek” series. The newest installment in the franchise is “Star Trek Discovery,” which is available on the streaming service CBS All Access. If you’re a fan of Bakula, you can catch him in his latest hit series “NCIS: New Orleans” on CBS.
