Fox Releases First Footage of The X-Files Revival (Video)

This week, Fox unveiled the first look at the upcoming six-part event series.

The show’s social media accounts announced — via Twitter — that they’ll be counting down the 201 days until the 2016 revival by revisiting an episode a day of the original series.

And, as a bonus, the trailer for the re-watch features the first new footage of Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson).

Yes, Dana Scully is Back! Gillian Anderson Reveals Red Hair for X-Files Reboot

Prepare to get excited Scully fans – Gillian Anderson has revealed a familiar looking hairstyle on her Twitter account.

The actress teased her social media followers by posting a photo of her new red hair colour, associated with the character Dana Scully.

Covering her face with her phone, Anderson captioned the photo with an alien emoji and a lipstick kiss.

It’s only a mere three months since The X-Files revival was officially confirmed, and now the cast and crew have gathered in Vancouver to begin shooting the new series.

Anderson recently said that it will be “really weird” to return to the cult series, but that she’s looking forward to it.

Getting back to the character I’m fine with. It’ll be fun, it’ll be all of us back together again but older and wiser. I know we will make the most of it and it’ll be really weird. It’ll probably be more fun and more exhausting at the same time. I’m psyched and I’m still in denial.”

Creator Chris Carter will be back at the helm for the six new episodes, joined by returning stars David Duchovny (as Mulder) and Gillian Anderson who has already reverted from her preferred blonde to Scully’s famous red hair colour…

13 years after its original run, The X-Files is coming back, with FOX ordering a six-episode ‘event series’ that will see Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigate new supernatural mysteries.

Expected to arrive in 2015, the series will be helmed by original X-Files writer Chris Carter.

“I think of it as a 13-year commercial break. The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.”

Originally premiering in 1993, The X-Files won 16 Emmys and five Golden Globes, with its creepier episodes (e.g season 4’s ‘Home’ *shudder*) still being talked about to this day.

A return for the show has been mooted for a while and rumours resurfaced earlier this week.

Duchovny previously said he was “f*cking overjoyed” at the idea.

FOX CEOs Gary Newman and Dana Walden said,

“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.

The X-Files was not only a seminal show for both the studio and the network, it was a worldwide phenomenon that shaped pop culture – yet remained a true gem for the legions of fans who embraced it from the beginning. Few shows on television have drawn such dedicated fans as The X-Files, and we’re ecstatic to give them the next thrilling chapter of Mulder and Scully they’ve been waiting for.

No premiere date has been announced, but production will begin this summer.
