Earlier this month, we shared the first photo from the set of the upcoming The X-Files mini-series. Now, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, best known for playing Agents Mulder and Scully, are being featured in the upcoming EW issue, and they look lovely. Check out the full cover below:
The source recently visited the set of the series, and shared more information about the six-episode season:
On an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C., we found paranormal detectives Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Anderson) investigating the curious case of a possible alien abductee (played by Annet Mahendru of The Americans) at the behest of a most curious ally, the host of a conservative talk show (Community's Joel McHale). Of course, the last time we saw our heroes (the 2008 feature film The X-Files: I Want To Believe), Mulder and Scully were out of the bizarre-adventures business. He was living on the fringe, she was a doctor working at a Catholic hospital; they were sometimes lovers who just wanted the weird world to leave them alone. Much has changed for them since then.
They also had the chance to talk with the actors of the show, and in regards to Mulder, Duchovny said:
"Mulder's not in a great place. He's wearing bad jeans, so you can just extrapolate from my wardrobe. He's in a dark, dark place."
Anderson was a little more serious and discussed Chris Carter's story for the revival:
"I like where we find Mulder and Scully in their relationship. I also like the area of zeitgeist that we step in to. It's on point and raises some very interesting issues. And question marks."
Carter said that everything we'll see in the revival will be new:
"We're not going to reboot any of the old favorites, although it was something we all thought about. These are all brand new stories. We hope to scare you in brand new ways."
The mini-series is set to premiere on January 24, 2016.
