Duchovny Signs On for Season 8

Both Variety and the Associated Press are reporting that an agreement has
been struck between David Duchovny and FOX to allow him to reprise his role
of Fox Mulder in the previously announced eighth season of The X-Files. The
deal comes just in time for the announcement of the FOX fall schedule on
Thursday in New York City.

"I am pleased we were able to come to an agreement that enables me to
remain part of The X-Files,'' Duchovny said in a statement Wednesday. "Now
that all the business issues have been settled, I'm looking forward to
going back to work.''

The AP reports that the announcement "was greeted with enthusiasm by
[series creator Chris] Carter, who had arrived at his own deal to continue
the series just one day before. He had said previously he could produce the
show without Duchovny but preferred not to.

"'I'm very pleased and I think with the season finale cliffhanger it
creates great possibilities to take the show in new directions,' Carter
said Wednesday."

According to Variety, Duchovny will appear in approximately half of next
season's 22 episodes at a salary of US$350,000 - $400,000 per episode.
While this represents a significant raise from his current rate of pay, it
pales in comparison to the US$750,000 per half-hour episode recently
commanded by the cast of the popular NBC comedy Friends.

In addition, Duchovny has settled his lawsuit against the FOX syndication
unit which he accused of selling repeats of The X-Files to FOX-owned
stations at less than market value. Industry sources indicate that the
settlement may be worth more than US$20 million.
