The truth is in there: a first peek into the new X-Files

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in The X Files.
The way they were: David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in The X-Files.

“I believe that what we’re looking for is in the X Files … I’m more certain than ever that the truth is in there.”

“I’ve heard the truth, Mulder, now what I want are the answers …”

Well, they’ve still got their torches … To start a 201-day bingewatch of all nine-seasons of The X-Files in the US, Fox have shown the first glimpse of the new six-episode “event series”, due to be shown on 24 January, 2016. As you would expect with more than half a year to go, it’s a pretty enigmatic sighting, which looks like Mulder and Scully are still spending their days hanging out in dimly lit warehouses, walking into dark rooms and trying to convince each other that there’s light at the end of the X Files tunnel.
