The announcement for this second event series — which fans will undoubtedly dub season 11 — came late last month, with FOX announcing an expanded 10 episode order over the first event series’ six episodes.
The X-Files looks to return in January of 2018.
Chris Carter is once again on board to spearhead the next chapter as showrunner for the series.
The expanded 10 episode order is also a welcome change for those who thought the previous season was too short — which includes star David Duchovny.
