‘The X-Files’ Gets A Lengthy 21-Minute Featurette!

Briefly: Oh man. More marketing to drum up excitement for The X-Files. Anyone feel like ever teasers, to the full trailer, to the stylish posters, and beyond have been stellar thus far?

Yeah, me too. Fox knows that they have a hit on their hands (and a good one, based on the impressions that we heard from NYCC back in October), and are doing all that they can to drive the hype to astronomical levels.

That trend continues with a huge 21 minute featurette for the upcoming series. In the video, we go behind the scenes with Chris Carter, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and all the key players as they reveal secrets from the set and take you on the epic journey of bringing this classic series back to Fox.

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.

In any case, trust no one, take a look at the lengthy featurette below, and let us know what you hope to see in the January 24th premiere!
