So, long ago, writer Joe Harris wrote the IDW Season 10 and Season 11 X-Files comics, which the publisher and Chris Carter declared canonical. It did not look like any X-Files TV shows or movies were going to contradict the comic. Carter's name came first on the comic covers, and he was credited as "Executive Producer." Eat the Corn website owner Kimon Keramidas wisecracked, "A more accurate credit might be 'Chris Carter: Skimmed the script to this comic."
Within a few months of Season 10, there was news that FOX was negotiating for a new TV season of the show. After Season 10's comics ended and Season 11 was about to begin, FOX announced a TV Season 11. It became very clear that the IDW comics were being cast aside. A planned 25 issue Season 11 became just eight issues and a special, and the final comic had a scene where Mulder looks into windows across spacetime and sees a parallel universe containing the TV version of himself and Scully (with the "My Struggle" outfits and hairstyles).
And now... Dynamite is releasing a new comic to be written by Joe Harris: The X-Files. Despite speculation that it might be a reboot, Joe confirmed to the press: his comics are set after the TV Season 11. Effectively a continuation that is using the empty void left by the absence of a TV show...

Except that Ryan Coogler's TV revival was just announced as going to series! And Kimon tells me: the new TV show is not a reboot. It is set in the same continuity as the original, but Mulder and Scully will likely have stepped back or retired; a new team will take over the X-Files; and the original mythology (such as it was) will be said to be over and done with in favour of a new one.
... is history repeating itself again for poor Joe Harris?
