X-Files Reveals New Promo, Revival Nears

By Spencer Potts
Op-Ed Copy Editor

The X-Files Revival has released more groundbreaking news on the series this week, this time it is a promotional video, giving a sneak peek into the returning series. The video heavily features Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, but it also shows Walter Skinner, “Smoking Man”, and many unnamed characters. During the exposition of the new series, it features a new theme: government surveillance.

The X-Files has always pushed boundaries within mainstream media, giving its time to not only aliens and monsters, but ideas of shadow governments, medical experimentation, Internet warfare and hacking, as well as even agricultural conspiracies. The series has never cowered from the controversial.

Now that the series is back in action after a 13 year gap between the last episode, times have changed so it is time for The X-Files to up the ante. The series seems to be doing just that, introducing thematic ideas demonstrating the current age of the NSA and Snowden.

Despite all of that, there appears to be one integral facet the series has yet to reveal, aliens.

“I’m very excited that Mulder and Scully are coming back.” said Sheila Royds, Neshaminy biology teacher, “I want Mulder to find out if the truth is really out there.”

As The X-Files slowly reveals more information, occasionally in a cryptic manner, fans across the world share their excitement on social media for the returning Fox series.

The series is set to return in January of 2016.
