‘The X-Files’: Fox releases new trailer for 2016 event series – watch

Six-episode revival series will air on Fox in early 2016

Fox has released a new trailer for next year’s The X-Files event series.

The US network announced over the summer that it will air episode one of its The X-Files event series on Sunday, January 25, followed by episode two on Monday, January 26. The remaining four episodes will air on Fox on subsequent Monday nights. At present the series, which is being steered by Chris Carter, has yet to be picked up by a UK broadcaster.

Joining David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in the event series are Mitch Pileggi, who is reprising his role as FBI boss Walter Skinner, and William B. Davis, who is returning as Mulder and Scully’s nemesis ‘The Smoking Man’. Fan favourites The Lone Gunmen are confirmed to be returning too.

Meanwhile, Community‘s Joel McHale has been cast as a conservative web TV news anchor and Flight Of The Conchords‘ Rhys Darby will play a man suspected by Mulder to be the perpetrator of a series of animal attacks. Six Feet Under‘s Lauren Ambrose and The Flash actor Robbie Amell will also make guest appearances.

The cult sci-fi show originally aired on Fox for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002 and also spawned a pair of spin-off films, released in 1998 and 2008. Fox first revealed in January of this year that it was having “conversations” about reviving the much-loved series.
