THE X-FILES: David Duchovny and Rob Bowman on the Importance of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes

As pickets have sprung up over Los Angeles and New York (and in hubs across the world) to support the ongoing writer and actor strike, honks and cheers frequently pour in from people and vehicles passing by. But as THE X-FILES vet David Duchovny started his interview with Give Me My Remote, unexpected voices lent their support: kids on a passing school bus.

AQUARIUS: NBC to Make All of Season 1 Available Post-Pilot Airing

NBC is making a big move in the way shows are released: the new David Duchovny-led, Charles Mason-origin drama, AQUARIUS, will have its entire 13-episode first season released online and via video on demand after the show’s two-hour premiere airs on NBC on May 28th.

“With ‘Aquarius’ we have the opportunity to push some new boundaries to give our audience something no broadcast network has done before,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a statement. “We are fully aware how audiences want to consume multiple episodes of new television series faster and at their own discretion, and we’re excited to offer our viewers this same experience since all 13 episodes of this unique show have been produced and are ready to be seen. I appreciate the enthusiasm we’ve gotten from the producers of the show and our partner Marty Adelstein of Tomorrow Studios to launch this series in a new, forward-thinking way.”

The entire series will be available for four weeks post-pilot premiere via the streaming and VOD platforms. AQUARIUS will continue to air Thursdays at 9 PM on NBC in the meantime.

Fox Boss Gary Newman on a Potential X-FILES Revival

Fox Television Group Chairman and CEO, Gary Newman, told reporters at the end of the Fox TCA exec session that there were early talks about potentially bringing X-FILES back for an event series.

After the panel, when Newman spoke with reporters, I asked him what the progress was of a potential series, and who would actually be attached.

“What I can say is that if this happens, it’ll be with David [Duchovny (Mulder)] and Gillian [Anderson (Scully)] reprising their roles,” Newman said. “[X-FILES creator] Chris [Carter] is interested, both David and Gillian are interested. Scheduling is very difficult. David has his show, Gillian is doing something in the UK. I really don’t know how fast it can happen, but there are ongoing conversation happening.”

So, um…anyone else excited?!

Per NBC, AQUARIUS is a “gripping drama series set in the late 1960s, Duchovny stars as a Los Angeles police sergeant with a complicated personal life who starts tracking a small-time criminal and budding cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to join his “cause.” The name of that man is Charles Manson. The twists and turns of a complicated undercover operation will lead Duchovny’s character and his young partner to the brink of Manson’s crimes that will eventually lead to the Tate-LaBianca murders in subsequent seasons.”

Showtime to End CALIFORNICATION

CALIFORNICATION will come to an end with the upcoming seventh season, Showtime announced today.

“With its unique blend of lyricism and excess, CALIFORNICATION has been one of our groundbreaking signature series,” said David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc., in a statement. “We will always be indebted to Tom Kapinos for leading the creative charge on this memorable comedy, and to David Duchovny for making us root for an unapologetic hedonist like Hank Moody. Tom has carefully planned the final chapter of Hank’s journey and has brought it to a beautiful and satisfying conclusion for new and long-time fans alike.”

CALIFORNICATION’s final season will debut in April of 2014.

Are you sad to see CALIFORNICATION go?
