Good news for fans of “The X-Files”: the “Lone Gunmen” from the original series will return for the six-episode Fox reboot airing next year with original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.
There’s only one niggling problem: the three conspiracy-obsessed characters — Richard “Ringo” Langly (Dean Haglund), Melvin Frohike (Tom Braidwood) and John Fitzgerald Byers (Bruce Harwood) — were killed off in Season 9 of “The X-Files” (a year after Fox axed their spinoff series, “The Lone Gunmen”).
Flashback? Dream sequence? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
