In 2016, the first special event series of The X-Files drew an average multi-platform audience of nearly 16 million viewers and was the season’s No. 2 broadcast drama, as well as the most talked-about event series on Twitter.

Now this year, fans will be treated to a 10-episode second instalment with both David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles once more as the infamous Mulder and Scully.

The series originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favourite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully and Mulder, as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

The series comes from Chris Carter, the creator and executive producer of the series with Glen Morgan also serves as an executive producer. Starring David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Mitch Pileggi.

The 10-episode special event series begins January 3rd at 8/7c.

In 2016, THE X-FILES drew an average Multi-Platform audience of nearly 16 million viewers and was last season’s No. 2 broadcast drama. It also was the season’s most talked-about event series on Twitter, and now it’s back for another special event series.

The previous season left on a huge cliffhanger and now sees Scully has taken a turn since the Season 10 finale saw her rushing to save a sick Mulder. The trailer shows her recovery, but not before she begs Mulder to, “find him and you have to stop him before he releases hell on Earth”. Is she talking about Cigarette Smoking Man, or perhaps their missing son? She then exclaims, “I have to find our son!”

With that, the hunt for William promises to play a major role in the 10-episode installment.

During the New York Comic Con panel for The X-Files, Gillian Anderson revealed that Season 11 will be her last and she chose to do this season “because it felt like it wasn’t over. It didn’t feel like we necessarily deliver everything the fans were expecting of us last time, and so it was that.”

The event series will air during the 2017-2018 season.
