THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE: Sci-fi series The X-Files, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, could be getting a reboot.

Fans really want to believe.

Just days after it was announced that 1990s cult drama Twin Peaks is getting a revival, a campaign to bring back spooky sci-fi series The X-Files is gathering momentum.

The supernatural show featuring FBI special agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) ran for more than 200 episodes from 1993 to 2002, scoring big thanks to the chemistry between the two investigators and the warped, clever storylines covering aliens, demons and various other unexplained mysteries.



And now Anderson, who played the scientific sceptic countering her conspiracy theorist co-worker, has sparked a new drive to bring back the show during an interview with Nerdist.com.

The actress has asked fans to voice their support by tweeting #X-Files2015 and targeting Fox's Twitter @FoxTV, saying she would be "f---ing overjoyed" if the show got a reboot.



The X-Files was created by Chris Carter and won numerous awards including multiple Emmys and Golden Globes and scored a fervent fanbase. Two movies followed in 1998 and and 2008.



Anderson has since carved out an impressive list of stage credits in London, as well as BBC adaptations of Bleak House and Great Expectations.



Most recently she has appeared in TV series Hannibal, playing the psychotherapist to Dr Hannibal Lecter, and detective series The Fall alongside Jamie Dorna



Duchovny's post-X-Files work include another long-running TV series, Californication, where he plays womanising drug and alcohol abusing novelist Hank Moody.
