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.
Last season, Agent Scully and her new associate in the X-files office, Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick), investigated the mysterious alien abduction of Agent Mulder and successfully saved him from a fate that would have placed him under alien control. This season, Scully and Doggett have been joined by Agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) in their investigations, including a shocking government cover-up with possible ties to the FBI and Scully and Mulder's newborn son.
Duchovny co-stars in the upcoming Steven Soderbergh film "Full Frontal" and is represented by Creative Artists Agency and Melanie Greene Management.

I concur with Snake...the PR piece just affirms what was already decided.
Chris Carter said in an interview a while ago that this was the last season and that David would be back for at least the series ender.

I, for one, appreciate your message which confirms what was up to this point little more than hearsay and rumors (especially in light of the Britney Spears guest appearance on Sex and the City which was "confirmed" then subsequently dispelled as a vicious rumor the next day).
