Lone Gunmen were so popular in FOX’s “The X-Files” series that they were given their own spinoff, which only lasted 13 episodes.
Now, with “The X-Files” reopening for business this coming January, the trio – played by Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Bruce Harwood – are set to return for an undisclosed arc.
What’s interesting is that they were killed off during a season 9 arc, which leaves us wondering how they’re going to return…
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return as Mulder and Scully, with Robbie Amell (“The Flash”) and Lauren Ambrose (Psycho Beach Party) signed on as Agent Miller and Agent Einstein, respectively.
Mitch Pileggi returns as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner, while William B. Davis will be back as the iconic Cigarette-Smoking Man in the new short-stack order of 6-episodes. Joel McHale will play Tad O’Malley, a conservative news anchor who becomes an unlikely ally for Fox Mulder (Duchovny).
The series returns to Fox on January 24th, 2016. You can see 15-seconds of all-new footage below.
