In an interview with X-Files News, Carter said it is possible that Skinner and Agents Reyes and Doggett could appear in the six new episodes.
"I have ideas for everyone," Carter teased. "Their availability is subject to their regular paying jobs. Of course, I'd like to bring everyone possible back, but it's who's going to fit into the story and who's available."
Carter went on to promise a mix of "some obvious choices" and "some surprises" for the upcoming miniseries.

"We've lured Darin Morgan ('Jose Chung's From Outer Space') and Jim Wong ('Squeeze'), we're very excited about that and we're working on the rest," Carter added.
David Duchovny previously confirmed that the miniseries will blend Monster-of-the-Week and alien mythology episodes, and that the series will return to its original home in Vancouver when production begins.
The X-Files originally aired on Fox from 1993 and 2002, winning 16 Primetime Emmy Awards through that period.
