Now hes bringing some of that mojo to television. His new seriesNight Train With Wyatt Cenacis streaming now on Seeso. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Littlefield is a notably small venue. How do you translate that intimate, small-venue comedy vibe into a bigger, TV-friendly production? WYATT CENAC: It is a challenge. So rather than push stand-up more toward television, why dont we push television more toward stand-up? Lets not pretend were not shooting for television....

Wynonna Earpshowrunner Emily Andras wasnt joking when she said, Playtime is over. This weeks episode opened with Wynonna herself possessed by the tentacle demon (a.k.a. Mikshun) whod been possessing her sister Waverly for so long. Michelle Faye/Syfy But the ancient being wasnt able to causetoomuch mischief before Doc Holliday caught onto its ways and trapped it. This allowed Wynonna to dispatch it back to hell with her trusty ol gun....

If you tap on links we provide, we may receive compensation. As Smith tells it, its just one gift the show has given him in the last two years.

And like Beau always says, Theres no budget. And its not like theyre completely separate entities....

We’ve seen three episodes. One is a masterpiece. One is the opposite. Credit: Frank Ockenfels/Fox My Struggle is a chain-gun barrage of catchphrase paranoia and midlife-crisis crypto-Randian anti-philosophy. Its like creator Chris Carter took 13 years of pent-up ideas and printed them on Froot Loops. Meet, again: Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. David Duchovnys believer is in a depressive funk. Theyre called back into alien-hunting by Tad OMalley (Joel McHale), an alarmist, Glenn Beckian newsbag....

They involve some dancing. We already revealed that Mondays episode ofThe X-Fileswill feature an appearance by fan-favorite characters the Lone Gunmen. They appear as part of whatX-Filescreator Chris Carter describes as a presumed psychedelic hallucination. Credit: Ed Araquel/Fox CHRIS CARTER:I was a big fan of the Christopher Walken-Fatboy Slim video collaboration, Weapon of Choice. I wanted to have Mulder do something like that. We actually had a choreographer work with David [Duchovny]....

X-Filesfans can still believe in hope for a season 11. In an interview withDeadline, star Gillian Anderson said shed be up to return as Dana Scully. Im open to the conversation, though they havent come to us yet. Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images I have no clue when theyre going to, Anderson said. And I have no idea when that will be able to take place at this juncture....

Also, how television has changed in 20 years. The original nine-season run ofThe X-Fileslasted 202 episodes. Only four episodes were written by Darin Morgan. Credit: Ed Araquel/Fox But those episodes loom large in the shows history. That episode airs Monday night. EW got on the phone to talk with Morgan about how television has changed and howX-Fileshasnt. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:When did you have the idea for Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster?...

Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) has lost another family member. They changed the [airing] order. And now shes got a kid, but shes not a mother. Credit: Ed Araquel/FOX Her mother is passing away. Its the third in a trilogy of exploring Scully as mother. The phone call and the necklace that Scully has the prop department did an exact replication of my moms. I have that quarter, and I have no idea why she had it....

Before they knew each other, the agents faced ominous mysteries on their own. Sorry, nobody down here but the FBIs most unwanted. Its just the beginning of their journey, she says. Credit: Frank Ockenfels/Fox Whats so cool about them is that these are coming of age stories. We could keep taking them up until they meet at the FBI. It starts out as a fairly normal teen story. Hes got a crush on his best friend back home....

Rhys Darby isnt likely to forget his first collaboration withX-Fileswriter Darin Morgananytime soon. Ive never had so much dialogue in my life, he laughs. Luckily a lot of its sort of voiceover; its a monologue. Credit: Ed Araquel/Fox Im used to sort of improvising a lot when I do my comedies, Darby explains. It was sort of a bit nervous for both of us, Darby says of filming the exaggerated scene....

Darin Morgan talks about the ending of the latest episode. In contrast, Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster fits neatly in the tradition of standalone Monster-of-the-Week episodes. Ever the skeptic, Scully asks how she will meet her end. Credit: Ed Araquel/Fox Bruckmans memorable response: You wont. Later episodes featured vague references to that idea. When Mulder complains that Scully risked her life, Scully nonchalantly reminds him, Im immortal, remember?

Credit: Ed Araquel/Fox After the shows cancellation, the characters returned in a season 9 episode ofThe X-Files. And … well, they died. And why do they appear to be competing in a Gene Autry cosplay contest? There are ways to bring people back in dream sequences, flashbacks, and the like....

Plus: The return of the Entertainment Geekly podcast! Still, its hard to imagine a show likeThe X-Filesever running 200 episodes again. This is because it has never been easy to define what kind of showX-Fileswas to begin with. Credit: Fox But those binary definitions dont really capture the full sweep of the show. In its prime and past it,The X-Filescould tell almost any kind of story. Because of its long run, there are whole subgenres ofX-Filesepisodes....
