LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- The X-Files is gearing up for its series revival on Jan. 24.

The Fox series released a 21-minute preview featuring David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and series creator Chris Carter ahead of the sci-fi drama's return.

The preview introduces Duchovny and Anderson's characters, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, to new viewers and gives existing fans a behind-the-scenes look at what's to come.

"Chris knows the material in his bones," Duchovny said. "He has a real clear vision of this world ... We want to satisfy the mythology of it. There's going to be standalones, and of those standalones there's going to be one that's funnier than the others."

"There's a particular kind of enthusiasm that people have right now for this coming back," Anderson added. "I knew that there was a big interest from the fans to see more monster stuff, but also we have a big fandom based around the mythology."

Writer and executive producer Glen Morgan revealed the first and sixth episodes will be mythology episodes, with standalone episodes in between. Writer and producer Darin Morgan added that the revival will see Mulder and Scully confront their "age" and "life choices."

The X-Files had a nine-season run from 1993 to 2002, and will return for a six-episode limited series revival Jan. 24, 2016. The sci-fi drama follows Mulder and Scully as they investigate unsolved and unexplained cases involving paranormal phenomena.

Can't wait...........I want to believe it will turn into a regular series instead of a mini-series.

Well it was a cool series but unfortunately you can only have so many good ideas before things start going stale.

It was especially annoying when Scully after so many unexplainable episodes would still deny anything supernatural was possible. She could be shaking hands with aliens and still be skeptical.

Not a big fan of X-file eh?

Well, it was the director/creator intention to have Scully to be a skeptics that to balance moulder view on paranormal activities and try to negate what he did or what he believe.

I think I have seen every episode for at least the first 5 years when it was originally broadcast.

Yeah, but after a few years that got old. Sort of like nobody putting two and two together about Clark Kent/Superman.

lol, I was a huge fan back in the days. Yeah, you can say we can see it coming a mile away between the moulder/scully dynamics, but still, back in 1990s this show is the pioneer of Sci-Fi genre of TV shows....

They should have stuck with Twilight Zone episodes instead of Cancer Stick Man stuff.

More stuff like the guy who could squeeze through vents.
