However, the show's creator said in a recent interview that the new revival of the series will also touch on some of the more political conspiracies that take place in our world.

X-Files creator Chris Carter said Edward Snowden and issues like the 9/11 conspiracy will be fair game in the new revival of the show. The new series will feature the same classic characters, David Duchovny as Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully.

"A lot of the rights and liberties that were signed away [with the Patriot Act] are being abused now, and no one seems to care," Carter said.

"We see the admitted spying by the government. These are not things we're making up and it informs everything Mulder and Scully are doing," he added.
