January 11th - New info from FOX TCA Exec session
“A lot of conversations are going on, as you can imagine, these conversations are complex,” Fox entertainment president David Madden said during the Fox TCA executive session. “We hope to be able to announce something shortly.”
Sources are reluctant to say much of anything either on the record or on background, but I’m hearing that after hoping to convince Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to sign on for a thirteen episode eleventh season, Fox senior executives, led by Dana Walden, have settled on an order in the range of 8-10 episodes. (UPDATE: Additional sources are now saying the order will be for ten episodes)
