In 2016, the groundbreaking sci-fi show The X-Files returned to television for a limited, six-episode run - and with it, raised new questions about modern surveillance and fears of the government.
The show, often praised for being a groundbreaking series in its genre, has maintained a cult following after going off the air in 2002.
Recently, Fox has announced they are in "serious discussions" about the show returning for an 8-10 episode 11th season. While news of its return is great for fans of the series, we'd love if The X-Files came back for a full 15-20 episode run. In a time where there is so much suspicion around government and privacy, and so much attention being paid to government whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning - the X-Files can play an important narrative role in our culture.
Sign the petition and urge Fox to produce a full season of The X-Files.
