After many years away, The X-Files has returned to television as a limited series. The show was very popular in the 1990s but the series’ ratings saw big drops at the end of its original run. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding The X-Files’ return and all involved say they’d be interested in producing an 11th season at some point. But, will the audience and the FOX network be interested? Stay tuned.
The series takes place 14 years after the closure of the original X-Files. FBI special agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) is contacted by his former partner, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) at the behest of Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). He wants them to meet a right-wing webcaster (Joel McHale). This leads them to new information and Mulder begins to doubt what hes believed for so very long. The rest of the cast includes William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Sheila Larken.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/23 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The X-Files TV show? Do you think it should return for an 11th season?
Superbly done…so glad ‘X-files’ is back!
We loved every moment of every episode…thanks Fox.
More please!!!!
i have been a fan since the beggining i sure hope you continue with xfiles thanks from hayes family in red deer alberta
I also have been a fan of show..had the books ete..I was so happy the show is back on..but I am unhappy..because I wanted the excitment of the chase and the search for information…but instead I got the jolt from the contant pain and tears of the dying mother and tears from the loss of their son…I don’t know, science fiction takes us away..adventure..The writers can still , turn the volume up on this one..take us away….the acting is good..they are following script.
I watched 20 minutes of the first episode and couldn’t take it anymore. The quality of acting was horrible! If this show makes another season I will be very surprised.
Oh, yes! Please keep the episodes coming, Fox!
Love X-Files!!! Give us more Fox
Do you know what season 9’s ratings were? I’d like to see if The X-files are up or down from it’s last season.
Watching X-Files again makes me happy. I am drawn in from the moment the episode begins.
Being an Old-School X-Files fan, I felt like I was in my 20’s again with the sets, the feel, the tone, & especially the exposition. The team is back in every way, & it shows. I hope this is a building block for things to come. I’d be fine with 8 episodes a year and gladly take more if given!
I’m 13 and I started watching the x files a few weeks ago because my dad loves it. I got to episode 5 of season 1. I didn’t plan on watching the new season until I finished the first 9 because I thought I would get confused on what happened the other episodes I haven’t seen. But I decided to watch the season 10 premiere with my mom and dad and it basically filled me in so much that I felt like I had seen every episode of the original. They did an amazing job with making sure that people… Read more »
“X-Files” got right what “Heroes: Reborn” did very poorly: the “X-Files” writers took about 10 minutes for exposition to clue in those who weren’t fans, the first time around (before yesterday, I had never seen an “X-Files” episode, in my life), so I pretty much understood everything that was going on. “Heroes” took the stance that, “if you weren’t a fan, before (which, again, I wasn’t), then forget about it. We’re not going to invite you into the world. In fact, we’re going to make it impossible to follow.” Because of that, after just a few “Heroes” episodes, I said… Read more »
Hopefully, this 6 ep season wont be the last one. I was very dissappointed when the show was cancelled back in the day, but now after bringing it back, if they cancel it again, it will ruin the rest of this year for me to say the least. Also if FOX cancelles it I really hope netflix will pick it up FAST. They seem to understand best what people want to see.
Awesome TV show, I hope it gets season 2.
Not season 2 , it will be Season 11
Well who cares if FOX picks it up again, NETFLIX or someone else will , i am guessing.
Sadly for me I live in France so I have no idea when we will get it here. I was always and XFiles fan and can’t wait to see this new series. Anyone want to tell me if it was any good!!! Je me rejouis déjà!
Last night Part 1 was awesome and Part 2 is on tonight. So much of what Alex Jones and guests on Coasttocoastam have talked about was on the show last night. A lot has to do with the Elite and how our government is hiding the truth from us. You might be able to watch this on Hulu.
