AceShowbiz - You couldn't help wanting more new episodes after watching the end of "The X-Files" revival. In the finale that aired Monday, February 22, the life of one of the major characters is hanging in the balance after a rapidly spreading disease infected the population.
[SPOILER ALERT!] Tad O'Malley's (Joel McHale) back in the episode, appearing on his web show to break the news that everybody has been infected with alien DNA. He is wrong though, since Scully (Gillian Anderson) who has alien DNA in her is not falling ill.
Agent Einstein (Lauren Ambrose) teams up with Scully to create a vaccine from her own DNA to stop the virus. Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) also returns to tell the whole story about Scully's alien abduction.
Meanwhile, Mulder (David Duchovny) meets the man he deems is responsible for everything, The Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis). But The Smoking Man claims human kind is going to go extinct anyway and he just decided the time table. Miller (Robbie Amell) arrives and takes Mulder back to DC.
When Scully and Einstein finally find the cure, Mulder's condition has been so bad and he needs stem cells. Their only hope is their son William, but how do they get to him? That's when a UFO spaceship is seen floating in the sky and beaming down on Scully, Mulder and Miller. And that's how "The X-Files" revival ends with another cliffhanger.
Fans have since taken to Twitter to react to the finale. Many believe that it suggests there will be another season of "The X-Files". Rob (Sharky) Pruneda tweeted, "The way it ended, they are DEFINITELY going to have another season! Yes!" DavidDGoogling wrote, "How to drop a subtle hint to lowkey confirm season 11? #TheXFiles."
While FOX has not officially greenlit a new chapter of the sci-fi series, fans can look forward to "The X-Files Origins" novel series that follows 15-year-old Dana Scully and 17-year-old Fox Mulder. According to EW, the two new novels titled "Agent of Chaos" and "Devil's Advocate" will be "set in the spring of 1979, when serial murder, the occult, and government conspiracy were highlighted in the news."
"Agent of Chaos" tells the story from Mulder's point of view. It will be written by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia. "Devil's Advocate" that tells Scully's story will be written by Jonathan Maberry, a New York Times bestselling thriller and horror novelist. Both novels are set to publish simultaneously in January 2017.
