After almost a decade away, Chris Carter is coming back to television. The X-Files creator has a new supernatural cop show in the works called Unique (ironic!), which The Hollywood Reporter says is “a female-lead mystery police thriller” with a paranormal twist. One could say that we want to believe this could work: If anyone else was trotting out yet another spin on the police-show format, we’d roll our eyes, but given the years of joy Mulder and Scully brought to the world, Chris Carter gets a pass. Well … he gets another pass — he used up one pass on The Lone Gunmen. [THR]
