'X-Files' Reboot News: First Promo Released for Revival Series [VIDEO]
Fans have finally been gifted with their first looks at the 'X-Files' revival series in a brand new promo that prompts the 201-day marathon that will evidently lead up to the show's premiere.
The promo starts by highlighting the original show's clips before giving us our first glimpse at David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson back in their roles as paranormal detectives.
The marathon starts this week and will air one episode at a time, starting from the first, all the way to the last episode in season 9. Fans unfamiliar with the show will be encouraged to take notice and prep themselves for the six episode revival series.
Here's the show's synopsis:
"Thirteen years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES will be a thrilling, six-episode event series helmed by 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. 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. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015.
"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."
The show returns on January 24, 2016.
