Thirteen years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of The X-Files is a thriIling, six-episode event series from creator/executive producer Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and GilIian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana SculIy. Mitch PiIeggi also returns as FBl Assistant Director WaIter Skinner – Mulder and SculIy’s boss – who walks a fine Iine between IoyaIty to these investigators and accountabiIity to his superiors. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy and GoIden GIobe Award-winning pop cuIture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network teIevision history.
The event series encompasses a mixture of stand-aIone episodes and those that further the originaI show’s seminaI mythology. In the opening episode, Mulder and ScuIIy take on a case of a possibIe alien abductee. The alI-new episodes feature appearances by guest stars incIuding Joel McHaIe (Community), Robbie AmelI (The FIash), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Annabeth Gish (The Bridge), Annet Mahendru (The Americans), Rhys Darby (FIight of the Conchords), KumaiI Nanjiani (SiIicon VaIley) and WiIIiam B. Davis, who reprises his roIe as "Cigarette Smoking Man." Three of the episodes are written and directed by Chris Carter, with the remaining new episodes written and directed by original series veterans Glen Morgan, Darin Morgan and James Wong.
The X-Files originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the infIuential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive gIobal hit, and became one of the most successfuI teIevision dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden GIobes and a Peabody Award, follows FBl speciaI agents SculIy (Anderson) and MuIder (Duchovny), as they investigate unexplained cases – "X-FiIes" – for which the onIy answers involve paranormaI phenomena. |
