Agents Mulder and Scully are officially returning for duty again.
After announcing in January that a reboot of sorts was in the works, Fox has announced that X-Files will be back for a six-episode run, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson set to reprise their roles.
“We had the privilege of working with Chris on all nine seasons of The X-Files — one of the most rewarding creative experiences of our careers — and we couldn't be more excited to explore that incredible world with him again,” said Fox TV Group CEOs Gary Newman and Dana Walden in a joint statement.
X-Files ran for nine seasons on Fox from 1993 to 2002, spawned two films and earned 16 Emmys.
Show creator Chris Carter is set to helm the revival.
“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” Carter said. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”
The series is set to begin production summer 2015 with an air date to be announced at a later time.
