The X-Files Series Return Details

If you’re as ready for The X-Files series return as I am, you’re probably wondering what all of the details are for how and when you can watch the new episodes. We have you covered with all of the details below from Fox. Also included in this post are links to all of the videos that I have put together covering stand alone episodes of the original series, so make sure to take a look at those if you haven’t already. With the series returning pretty soon, now is the perfect time to rewatch some of the best episodes of the show. You can easily watch the show via Netflix, Hulu, or by purchasing it on DVD or Blu-Ray.

THE X-FILES debuts with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, Jan. 24, 2016 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/7:00-8:00 PM PT), following the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and continuing with its time period premiere on Monday, Jan. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The upcoming event series will encompass 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 will feature appearances by guest stars, including Joel McHale (“Community”), Robbie Amell (“The Flash”), Lauren Ambrose (“Dig,” “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.
