Channel 5 have announced they’ll be airing the new series of The X Files. The special six episode run, with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson returning to their roles as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, will air early in 2016.
The show's return comes 13 years after the original run (it came out in September 1993) meaning The X Files is still one of the longest running sci-fi series EVER. And we’re not surprised, it’s ace!
“Securing the UK premiere of the hugely anticipated return of The X-Files is a major coup for the channel and will create one of the television events of 201,” Ben Frow, Director of Programmes for Channel 5 tells heat. “This acquisition underlines our ambition to deliver a diverse slate of brilliant, must-see programming on Channel 5.”
Expect this series to be as chilling as ever, with Mulder and Scully investigating more weird paranormal phenomena.
