As if we needed any more proof that the 1990s are alive and well, The X-Files will be coming back to Fox as a six-episode limited series. While such a landmark show returning in one form or another is almost expected at this point, the big news is that the entire team is on board: David Duchovny will be returning as Agent Fox Mulder, Gillian Anderson as Agent Dana Scully, Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner and creator and executive producer Chris Carter will be overseeing it all. The X-Files originally ran for nine seasons and spawned two theatrical films; its network run ended in 2002. "I think of it as a 13-year commercial break," Carter said in a statement. "The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories." Following in the footsteps of '24: Live Another Day' After a long hiatus from the medium, Carter has tried to work his way back into television over the last few years, with mixed results. He created a new show called The After for Amazon, and while the company ordered it to series the show was subsequently cancelled. He's also been working on a show about Area 51 for AMC, but that has yet to move forward either. Fox previously brought back a beloved franchise under the "limited series" moniker — essentially a mini-season's worth of episodes — with 24: Live Another Day. That did quite well for the network , and as Variety points out, it also renewed interest in previous seasons, leading to a lucrative new 24 streaming deal with Amazon. That is no doubt just one of several factors behind the return of The X-Files, but for fans only one thing matters: Mulder and Scully are back.

Its official! It's coming back for more!!! “Iconic characters, rich storytelling, bold creators – these are the hallmarks of great TV shows. And they are some of the reasons why The X-Files has had such a profound impact on millions of fans worldwide,” said Fox president David Madden. “Chris’ creativity, along with the brilliant work of David and Gillian, continue to propel this pop culture phenomenon, and we can’t wait to see what fresh mysteries Mulder and Scully uncover in this next chapter of The X-Files.” Technically the 11th season of The X-Files, this new run will air on Fox’s schedule either later this year or early next. Starting off with strong ratings, the previous six-episode revival of the FBI conspiracy drama debuted January 24, 2016 on the very revival friendly Fox.
