The FOX six-episode “event series” revival of The X-Files, premieres with a special two-night event following the NFC championship game. The X-Files kicks off Sunday, January 24, 2016 at 10:00pm ET (note: 7:00pm PT) and continues with its premiere on Monday, January 25 at 8:00pm ET/PT.
In anticipation, we bring you the new trailer, in which Mulder wonders, “What if our work — the X-Files — everything we’ve been led to believe in, is a lie?” Take heart, Mulder. Fans believed The X-Files was cancelled, yet it is back after a mere 13-year hiatus.
The X-Files stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Mitch Pileggi returns as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner. Per FOX, the all-new episodes will feature appearances by guest stars including Joel McHale, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, Annabeth Gish, Annet Mahendru, Rhys Darby, Kumail Nanjiani, and William B. Davis, who reprises his role as “Cigarette Smoking Man.” Chris Carter pens and directs three of the six new episodes. The other three are written and directed by X-Files vets Glen Morgan, Darin Morgan and James Wong.

Are you excited for FOX’s revival of The X-Files? If you missed the original version of The X-Files, do you plan to check it out? The truth is out there. Share it with us, in the comments.
I can’t wait until January for the showing of The X Files I’m so glad it’s back on the air that was my favorite show years ago and I just am so happy it’s coming back and I know it will be very popular because everybody I know you love the x-files.
For me it’s Mulder that I can’t get enough of. He looks awesome. Not sure I like that wig on Scully. Not sure about Mulder doing well on Aquarius but David/Sam H did:) Aquarius was renewed
Can’t wait to see it. Scully is still drop dead gorgeous. Mulder did well on Aquarius and don’t know if it was cancelled or not.
Aquarius was renewed for season two: https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/aquarius-season-two-renewal-for-nbc-series-37243/.
Season one was released online in its entirety, after the Aquarius debut. That might not happen in season two: https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/aquarius-nbc-doesnt-regret-season-two-renewal-37762/
So crazy excited for this revival – when is Joss Whedon reviving Buffy??? – but if Carter makes this show without some acknowledgment of the global presence of the NWO, NSA madness and alien disclosure suppression then it will be a sham. Let’s pray that’s not the case. And I want the Lone Gunmen, too!
