'The X-Files' Teaser Trailers Reveal More Mulder And Scully

Russ Fischer's original post from July 17th 2015 follows, along with the first teaser trailer for the new edition of The X-Files:

This new X-Files teaser footage is brief, but packed with some signature elements that make it feel like a longer clip than it really is. In a 15-second blast, you'll see Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) as well as a couple bodies being dragged in a bloody trail, some evidence of a weird medical procedure or experiment, and even a desecration of Mulder's familiar "I Want to Believe" poster. Check out the footage after the break.

Fox tweeted the footage. The X-Files returns to TV on January 24 2016 as the first episode of a six-part limited series, airing right after the National Football Conference Championship Game. The second episode will air the next night, January 25, in its regular 8PM-9PM ET/PT timeslot .

Here is the official plot synopsis for the new version of The X-Files:

Thirteen years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES will be a thrilling, six-episode event series helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents FOX MULDER and DANA SCULLY. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history. Production on THE X-FILES event series is set to begin in summer 2015.

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny), as they investigate unexplained cases – "X-Files" – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.
