14 DAY TRIAL // Fox is bringing back Special FBI Agents Mulder and Scully for 6 brand new episodes of “The X-Files” in January 2016, but you should start getting ready for that historic moment by catching up on the old seasons.
This is the word of advice from the network, which released a trailer in anticipation of the event: one episode a day is best. As you can see in the video below, it also includes the first official look at Mulder and Scully after 13 years of absence (on the small screen).
The video includes footage from the older episodes and then a look at the duo entering a dark room, guns out and at the ready, and the flashlight on, as they always did. “The X-files. I believe the truth is in there,” Mulder says, riffing on the series’ iconic tagline “The truth is out there.”
Scully, on the other hand, isn’t convinced that’s a chapter worth visiting again.
“The X-Files” the limited revival series will also bring back Chris Carter as an executive producer and many series regulars. Details on the plot are unknown as of now, but on-set paparazzi photos have revealed that Mulder will not start off as an FBI agent and will have to be coerced to return to the job to solve a new case.
