Thirteen
years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of
THE
X-FILES is a thrilling, six-episode event series from creator/executive
producer Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson
re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana
Scully.
Mitch Pileggi also returns as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner –
Mulder
and Scully’s boss – who walks a fine line between loyalty to these
investigators and accountability to his superiors. This marks the
momentous
return of the Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award-winning pop culture
phenomenon,
which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network
television
history.
The
event series encompasses a mixture of stand-alone episodes and those
that
further the original show’s seminal mythology. In the opening episode,
Mulder
and Scully take on a case of a possible alien abductee. The all-new
episodes
feature appearances by guest stars including Joel McHale (Community),
Robbie
Amell (The Flash), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Annabeth Gish (The
Bridge),
Annet Mahendru (The Americans), Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords),
Kumail
Nanjiani (Silicon Valley) and William B. Davis, who reprises his role
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 influential series went from breakout sci-fi
favorite to
massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television
dramas of
all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy® Awards, five Golden Globes®
and a
Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder
(Duchovny), as they investigate unexplained cases – "X-Files" – for
which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.
