Earlier this month we shared with you the first look at the eleventh season of ‘The X-Files’. Today, we have the first trailer which was released today at the New York City Comic-Con.
The series will pick up just where season 10 left off. This season we will be getting more episodes, 10 in all to be exact. Fans will be excited to learn that 8 of those will be “monster-of-the-week” type episodes. We will also learn more about William, Mulder and Scully’s son that was put up for adoption in a bid to keep him safe as a baby.
What can we expect from the first three episodes? I’m glad you asked.
Episode one delves into the Cigarette Smoking Man’s (William B. Davis) backstory and apparent family ties to Mulder, the second hour opens with a time jump to put distance between Mulder and Scully and the events of the premiere. And episode three is a darkly comedic hour, penned by Chris Carter, focusing on doubles and doppelgängers. But beyond the humor, the larger mythology of The X-Files — like the fallout from Scully’s abduction and the chip that was implanted in her neck — continues to shape Mulder and Scully’s world.” That’s according to EW.
A powerful figure played by Barbara Hershey emerges in this season’s story, though the showrunner Chris carter says any resemblance between her red hair and Scully’s is purely coincidental.
Season 11 will also explore the motives behind loyal ally Agent Reyes (Annabeth Gish) confessing that she’s working with with the Cigarette Smoking Man. We’ll get to see a new angle on Mulder and Scully’s boss, Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and “Familiar alliances are rattled,”
David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Mitch Pileggi will reprise their roles and will be joined by William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Karin Konoval, and Barbara Hershey.
The brilliant series will return for its eleventh chapter in 2018. As soon as an official release date is announced we will let you know.
