"The X-Files," created by Chris Carter, made waves in the TV world from 1993 to 2002. The show became a phenomenon in pop culture and spawned two movies on the big screen.

In the advent of the popularity of the internet and social media, "The X-Files" proved to retain its strong fandom, which prompted FOX to revive the show after 14 years. "The X-Files" followers will see more of Mulder and Scully's partnership and chemistry since FOX renewed the series after a successful revival limited six-episode run in 2016.

"The X-Files has had such a profound impact on millions of fans worldwide," FOX president David Madden said. "Chris' creativity, along with the brilliant work of David and Gillian, continue to propel this pop culture phenomenon, and we can't wait to see what fresh mysteries Mulder and Scully uncover in this next chapter of The X-Files."

The follow-up is expected to air with 10 episodes with a 2018 midseason launch date but the network has yet to announce its specific time schedule.
