‘X-Files’ Footage Arrives Teasing the 2016 Return of Mulder and Scully

The X-Files Teaser Trailer

Fox debuted a brief (as in only 45 seconds) teaser for The X-Files during the July 16th episode of Wayward Pines. The super short clip shows just a little of FBI Agents Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), but it should be enough to get X-Files fans excited about the return of the series. Unfortunately, we have to wait until January 24, 2016 before the new X-Files actually arrives.

The cast of the sci-fi event series also includes William B. Davis as the Smoking Man, Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner, and Joel McHale as news anchor Tad O’Malley. The original The X-Files debuted in 1993 and ran for nine seasons. The show earned 16 Emmys, five Golden Globes, and a Peabody Award.
