  DAVID DUCHOVNY TO RETURN FOR THE TWO-HOUR
  SERIES FINALE OF 'THE X-FILES' MAY 19

  Duchovny Also Slated To Direct One of Show's Final Episodes

  David Duchovny will reprise his role as FBI Agent Fox Mulder when
  he stars in the two-hour series finale of THE X-FILES Sunday May 19
  (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

  In true X-FILES fashion, story details for the remaining episodes of
  the series are under tight wrap. The final five episodes will begin to

  provide highly anticipated answers to many of the show's most-asked
  questions, culminating in the two-hour finale in which Agent Mulder is

  reunited with Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) after having gone
  missing for the past year. Also, the final episodes of the series will

  examine many of the pieces involved in the long-running mythology
  that has continued throughout the show's nine seasons. The series
  finale is being written by series creator and executive producer Chris

  Carter and directed by co-executive producer Kim Manners.

  In addition to appearing in the two-hour series finale, Duchovny is
  also confirmed to direct THE X-FILES episode scheduled to air
  Sunday, April 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), which is based on a story
  idea he co-wrote with Carter and executive producer Frank Spotnitz.

  (Webmaster's note: The story for Untitled 9X17 is by David
  Duchovny, Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz. Carter will write the
  teleplay. Mulder will not appear in the episode.)
