TVLine has learned that Fox is developing an animated comedy spin-off of The X-Files called The X-Files: Albuquerque. This may seem like a weird idea, but it shouldn’t come as a shock to die-hard fans, as the original show had a good amount of funny, light-hearted episodes (e.g., “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”).



Unfortunately, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson won’t be involved. That’s because the show revolves around a new “B-team” of misfits. (Why the FBI would keep a team like that around, we have no idea.)



“The new iteration is an animated series about an office full of misfit agents who investigate the X-Files cases too wacky, ridiculous or downright dopey for Mulder & Scully to bother with,” TVLine wrote. “They’re basically the X-Files’ B-team.”

Sounds sorta like the comedic animated spin-off they made for Star Trek.

A Star Trek comedy would work if done by people who actually like and respect the source material. Now where did we see that before?
 
Normally I'd say since this is FOX, and it's sci-fi themed, it'd be canceled after one season. But since it's animated, we could be tortured by this for decades.

From what I understand there is no credible evidence that the Orville has been cancelled.

We'll see. I definitely want it to keep going. The shift to Hulu, along with COVID-19, may have been a recipe for disaster. At the very least, we'll get season three and that's great news considering the cliffhanger.
