'The X-Files' Revival PHOTOS: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson's Mulder & Scully First Episode!

Back by popular demand, the iconic sci-fi/horror series will premiere on Fox in 2016. Before the season premiere of the highly anticipated revival of The X-Files, check out the paranormal investigators Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) reunited in the first episode.

As we previously mentioned, 13 years have passed since FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were on the TV screen solving weird and supernatural cases. The reboot of Fox's popular sci-fi series continues with 6 brand new episodes. Not only are the leads set to reprise their iconic roles, creator Chris Carter will takeover as showrunner for the franchise that launched his and many other careers.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) have landed on the front cover of their magazine. EW arrived on the scene, getting the scoop on the first script as cameras rolled during the very first week of production.

The episode follows the investigators as they arrive at an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Vancouver B.C.. The investigative duo are back on the case, which finds them encountering a possible alien abductee (played by Annet Mahendru of The Americans). Though they wanted the world to leave them alone at the end of I Want To Believe, much has changed for them since time went on without them.

Carter tells EW, "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."
