creator of The X-Files, Chris Carter | on the mythology and future of the series
26/07/2026 | 48 mins.Chris Carter created the greatest television series of all time (this is my podcast, I can say this). He is a producer, director and writer, and in 1993 he introduced the world to Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, and The X-Files. The X-Files (so far) has spanned 218 episodes, 11 seasons, and two movies; and I have no doubt that there will be more. He also created Millennium, Harsh Realm, and (frankly, brilliant) The Lone Gunmen (along with Vince Gilligan, John Shiban, Frank Spotnitz). I got to chat with Chris (!) about his approach to writing the mythology of The X-Files, how science shaped the series, the new Director’s Cut of I Want To Believe, and his upcoming movie with Dori Carter, Queens For A Day. We also spoke about the My Struggle series in seasons 10 and 11, and how they set up the future of The X-Files.

In this full motion video (FMV) point-and-click adventure, you play as Special Agent Craig Willmore (portrayed brilliantly by the late Jordan Lee Williams), and alongside some of our favourite characters from the series. Phil is now a professor in the Nicholson School of Communication and Media at the University of Central Florida, and he joined me on the podcast to tell me all about how the game was made.
I was also joined by my friend Dinara Tengri, author and creator of the Fandom X Archive podcast, a fantastic exploration of the early days of X-Files fandom. Dinara recently played The X-Files Game and shared her perspective on playing it with friends, almost 30 years after its release.
