In fact, the lowest any episode of The X-Files season 10 fell in the ratings was a 2.1, making it very worrying that the season 11 premiere did so poorly.
According to Variety, last night’s season 11 premiere of The X-Files earned an overnight rating of 1.4 in the key 18-49 viewer demographic.
Season 10 proved to be a big hit for FOX, making it unsurprising when the network ordered season 11.
The X-Files made its grand return for season 11 last night, but the ratings took a huge hit from what the series drew for season 10.
