This lesson we looked at re launches primarily in television by looking at the different iterations of Doctor Who and how it went through a big overhaul from it's initial 1963 launch to it's reboot in 1970.
The X-files was an American Sci-fi horrow show which starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson who were both FBI agents who investigated many different bizarre cases which would divulge on instances of paranormal activity. The show has become a cult classic with quite a large following, the show was fairly popular through the first seven seasons. The show declined in quality through its 8th and final 9th season, David Duchovny left partway through season 8 and the show was cancelled in 2002. There have been several X files related mediums that have come out in recent years including video games, comic books and a spin off show called the lone gunmen. There was also a movie that came out in 2008. I feel this would be a great series to relaunch as it was such a popular series with a massive fan base but you would have to be careful when making it as you are wanting to get new fans without alienating the existing ones.
For my idea of the relaunch it's going to be set in modern times and it won't be focusing on Moulder and Sculley but two new agents. It will have them in Recurring roles as senior members of the FBI. This will give fans a familiar faces which will keep them involved while bringing in new fans.
