The X-Files revival is coming, and Fox has released the first minute of the premiere

Fox is giving fans anxiously awaiting the X-Files revival a taste of what’s to come: The first minute of the premiere episode of the upcoming series is now available on the website doyoustillbelieve.com.

The short video is basically a recap of the previous series, which ran from 1993 to 2002. Therefore, viewers shouldn’t be too tormented by hints of what will unfold in later episodes — unlike with the series’ earlier trailers. Curiosity and excitement will, of course, be peaked for diehards who can’t wait to see Mulder and Scully reunited at long last. Mostly, though, the video serves as a tantalizing reminder of the series’ revival as well as a basic primer for newbies.

Like the original, the revival will focus on Fox Mulder (played by David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), a duo that met while working together as FBI agents investigating unsolved cases involving the paranormal. Fox gets to be the voice of the first minute of the revival, telling viewers, “My name is Fox Mulder. Since my childhood, I’ve been obsessed by a controversial global phenomenon.”

Mulder continues by giving a background on the mysterious disappearance of his sister when he was a child, and how he subsequently dedicated his life to investigating “the alien phenomenon.” He explains that his work led him to the FBI, where he ended up teaming up with Scully. Although the FBI ultimately closed the X-Files, Mulder’s personal interest didn’t go away, and we can expect to see more of it when the revival arrives on Fox.

Unfortunately Fox won’t let us embed the video here, but the X-Files official Twitter account shared the news of the new video’s release, along with a link to it below:

The X-Files will return as a six-episode miniseries, with a two-night premiere airing on Sunday, January 24 and Monday, January 25.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.

If you have to watch one Hulu movie in May 2024, stream this one
Tom Hanks in Cast Away.

It's a new month, and that means new movies on Hulu. And somebody over there really loves Tom Hanks. Because in this month alone, Hulu is adding Hanks' directorial debut, That Thing You Do, one of his most iconic films, Big, and one of his most recent hits, Elvis. But if we had to choose only one Hulu movie to stream in May 2024, then our pick is another Tom Hanks movie: Cast Away.

Robert Zemeckis directed the film from a script by William Broyles Jr. It cast Hanks as Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee who survives a plane crash in the Pacific ocean, only to find himself stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere without anyone to turn to but himself. Cast Away was actually a big hit in late 2000 and during the early part of 2001, earning $429.6 million worldwide. That may not have translated into Oscar gold for two-time Best Actor winner Hanks, but Cast Away is an unforgettable film that deserves a new audience nearly 24 years after it hit theaters.
