Watching the season finale of M. Night Shyamalan’s awesome “Wayward Pines,” I caught this brand new trailer for the forthcoming “The X-Files” revival, set to return to FOX on January 24th, 2016.
There’s a shot of a crashed spacecraft, military moving in on it, two bodies being dragged away, someone being injected with something and then a beautiful moment between Mulder and Scully, played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, in which Mulder asks, “Are you ready for this, Scully?”
It was revealed yesterday that the presumed dead Lone Gunmen – played by Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Bruce Harwood – are set to return for an undisclosed arc.
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).
