We're working with Paul Scheuring and the producers on that right now. I don't anticipate there would be any kind of significant announcements for several months." As for "X-Files," he said, "We're really pleased with how [the show] did this past season. It's been a great show for our network, but there's no plans to do another season at the moment."
