The X-Files returns for Season 11 on FOX in January 2018.
In the current cycle of popular TV shows being rebooted, The X-Files always seemed a natural fit.
The revival, though, was well enough received that, unlike FOX’s return engagements with Prison Break and 24, it will continue with another new season.
The franchise clearly has a lot of stories left to tell, and a large enough audience wanting to watch them.
