The X-Files Revival – Trailer0:30

(Or is he?) And why is Scully – who’s not wearing a lab coat, mind you – sitting in the Intensive Care Unit when Mulder comes calling? Set your DVR’s accordingly.

The X-Files returns to FOX with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, January 24 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/7:00-8:00 PM PT), following the NFC Championship Game, and continuing with its time period premiere on Monday, January 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). Now, let’s get a look at that trailer, shall we? It’s a limited series, and based on the fact that the premiere is called “My Struggle” and the finale is called “My Struggle II”, it’s a safe bet that there will be some connective tissue binding together the six individual episodes.

What did you think of the new X-Files trailer?

Announced newcomers include The Soup’s Joel McHale, The Flash star Robbie Amell, Six Feet Under favorite Lauren Ambrose, Flight of the Conchords’ Rhys Darby, Annet Mahendru of The Americans and Silicon Valley star (and X-Files superfan) Kumail Nanjiani. In the opening episode, Mulder and Scully take on a case of a possible alien abductee.

The cast for these episodes, both new and returning, is relatively public knowledge at this point – an impossible secret to keep in these social media-soaked days – but how majority fit into the action has been kept relatively unclear.

As he holds a burning cigarette, Smoking Man (William B. Davis) growls, “We have a small problem”. David Duchovny shines as Fox Mulder in the epic two-part tease and in some ways, it seems like The X-Files never really left us. WALTER SKINNER, Mulder and Scully’s boss, who walks a fine line between loyalty to these investigators and accountability to his superiors.
