Fox has released the official trailer, four teasers, eight images and four posters for their upcoming "The X-Files" limited series. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back as Mulder and Scully in this six-episode event, and so far the advanced screenings have been met with positive reactions from both fans and critics.

According to creator Chris Carter, the new series will feature two mythology episodes (the first and last), while the other four episodes will be procedural-type standalone stories which he hopes will please both devoted fans and new viewers. Carter returns to write and direct three episodes and the rest will be written and directed by James Wong, Darin Morgan, and Glen Morgan.

The cast also includes Mitch Pileggi, Annabeth Gish, Joel McHale, Dean Haglund, Annet Mehendru, Kamil Nanjiani, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, and William B. Davis

"The X-Files" will premiere on January 24th, 2016, followed by the second episode on January 25th.

THE X-FILES Revival Series Trailer and Pictures

The first teaser trailer and images for the upcoming "The X-Files" revival series have been released. The six-episode limited series will bring back David Duchovny as Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Scully as they once again embark on a dark journey into the unknown. Other X-Files veterans that will reprise their roles are Mitch Pileggi as Skinner and William B. Davis as the Smoking Mann.

They will be joined by Annet Mehendru, Joel McHale, Annabeth Gish and Nicholas Lea. The plot is unknown at this time, but the show's creator Chris Carter talked a bit about the political context of the series and how it's going to be a brand new story:

"The X-Files ended right after 9/11 ... A lot has happened since then. A lot of rollback of rights and liberties in the name of our protection. We’re being spied on now, we’re being lied to — all things that, for me, remind me of when I grew up, which was right around Watergate. I think we’re in similar and much more dire times right now. We’re not going to reboot any of the old favorites, although it was something we all thought about…These are all brand new stories. We hope to scare you in brand new ways."

"The X-Files" revival series will premiere on Sunday, January 24th, 2016, followed by the second episode on January 25th.

THE X-FILES Returns as Limited Series Starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson

"The X-Files" are making a comeback on the small screen. The sci-fi series will return for a limited six-episode season sometime next year and it will feature series veterans David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The episodes will be helmed by creator Chris Carter, but there are no plot details available at this point except that each episode will be a standalone case.

Production is set to begin in summer 2015 and it will film in Vancouver. Carter said that he thinks of it as "a 13-year commercial break" and that "the good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories."

Duchovny spoke about the upcoming series in a recent interview and here's what he had to say:

"The time is right because we got our [act] together to do it. In terms of culturally or what people want to see, I don’t know. I imagine if we waited too much longer people would eventually lose interest. It’s different from something like “Star Trek,” which started out campy and then, especially with the J.J. Abrams stuff, became legit somehow. You might argue with me, but I always felt like we were legit. We’re still trying to do the same show. It’s not like were trying to make it 2.0, or whatever the .0 is now. 3.0. We’re gonna make the same show. But it’ll be interesting because Gillian and I are older. I don’t want to act like it’s 20 years ago."
