A Look At The X-Files Revival

Mulder and Scully are back.

This is a thing, you guys. This is actually happening.

Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly dropped a nice big photo bomb on everyone, and shared a first look at the revival of The X-Files, which is currently shooting in Vancouver.

The shots don’t show off anything really, but I’ll be damned if they didn’t get my inner 12 year old to squeal with joy.

We get to see shots of David Duchovny’s Mulder and Gillian Anderson’s Scully, as well as newcomer to the series Joel McHale (who plays a news anchor), series creator Chris Carter, and Annet Mahendru.

While not much is known about the plot, we do know that Mitch Pileggi will return as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner, and William B. Davis will be bringing back the Cigarette-Smoking Man.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

The X-Files will premiere on FOX on Sunday, January 24, at 10 PM, and then go for a five-week run, Mondays at 8 PM.

Be sure to check out Entertainment Weekly’s site for some great outtakes from the photo shoot as well.
