The X-Files

Broadcast TV has seen some muted ups and downs in the 2015-2016 season, though no official cancellations have taken place. Still, change is all around for FOX in 2016, banishing Sleepy Hollow to Fridays, while slotting in premieres for DC’s Lucifer, New Girl, and American Idol’s final bow.

The moment FOX’s revived X-Files announced that The Flash and Six Feet Under alums Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose would appear as a pair of upstart FBI agents, the TV-minded knew a spinoff might be in the cards. It seems that was in fact the case, at least initially, but has creator Chris Carter abandoned plans for a series without Mulder and Scully?

FOX had itself a big week, between debuting yet another X-Files promo and improbably crossing over Bones and Sleepy Hollow, so what’s one more look at Mulder and Scully before Halloween? The monsters are on full display in two new trailers, along with a new poster to remind us that we are not alone.

Much of the excitement and mystery surrounding The X-Files’ 2016 return comes from the promise of mythology answers and alien invasions, but the six-episode revival will also bring back some of the sci-fi drama’s bread and butter. Get a good look at some of our new monsters of the week in the latest X-Files trailer!

FOX’s 2016 X-Files revival hasn’t exactly been shy with trailers (seriously, you can brave Gotham tonight for yet another), yet one of the new series’ deepest mysteries has yet to show its face. The famous Smoking Man is definitely back in the newest official poster for the series, but might we finally see his villainous visage tonight?

Earlier today we caught a few new looks at The X-Files’ 2016 return to follow the show’s appearance at New York Comic-Con, but at least one aspect of the legendary sci-fi series has been waiting in the wings. Take a look at FOX’s trippy new animated promo for The X-Files‘ return, which brings us one step closer to returning the infamous Cigarette Smoking Man.

The X-Files officially reopened by the premiere screening at New York Comic-Con this past weekend, and with it, more intel than ever has emerged on the anticipated revival. Check out new photos from the premiere, and find out what FOX might do with a “lost” episode from the coming season down the line!

For as much anticipation builds toward FOX’s 2016 revival of The X-Files, it’s difficult to envision how much ground six episodes will cover, balancing stand-alone stories with the sci-fi drama’s layered mythology. FOX may not be so one-and-done with its new X-Files however, as its creator promises more Mulder and Scully to come, set to some very classic tunes.

The X-Files gave us a two-part tease of its 2016 event series revival last night, but like any good conspiracy, things are about to go much, much deeper. Watch Joel McHale threaten extraterrestrial terrorism in an extended full trailer for our new X-Files!

It's been a long time coming for Mulder and Scully's return (especially past that pesky 2012 alien invasion), but The X-Files have officially been re-opened. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny return, along with a host of familiar faces in the first of FOX's two-part 2016 X-Files trailer!
