A new trailer has been released for the upcoming 鈥淭he X-Files鈥� series.聽

The original 鈥淴-Files鈥� aired from 1993 to 2002 and centered on Detectives Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), two members of the FBI who investigate paranormal incidents. They are often supervised by Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), and the two often face off against the mysterious Smoking Man (William B. Davis).聽

All are seen in this trailer. 鈥淭hey police us and spy on us, tell us that makes us safer,鈥� Mulder says. 鈥淲e鈥檝e never been in more danger.鈥� The clip also recalls the original show鈥檚 tagline 鈥淭he truth is out there,鈥� with text in the trailer reading, 鈥淭he truth is still out there.鈥澛�

Two films were made based on the series: 1998鈥檚 鈥淭he X-Files鈥� and 2008鈥檚 鈥淴-Files: I Want To Believe.鈥� The second film, in particular, was not loved by critics.

The trajectory of 鈥淭he X-Files鈥� echoes that of another sci-fi series, NBC鈥檚 鈥淗eroes.鈥� Like 鈥淭he X-Files,鈥� 鈥淗eroes鈥� ended in a way that did not satisfy many of its fans. The New York Times's the 2002 鈥淴-Files鈥� series finale 鈥渕ore of a tease than a conclusion鈥� and The A.V. Club's聽Todd VanDerWerff聽 鈥渞eally, really boring.鈥澛燱hen 鈥淗eroes鈥� aired its series finale in 2010, , 鈥淵ou could see everyone involved with the show鈥� mumble 鈥楳eh鈥� under their breath,鈥� while wrote, 鈥淚鈥檓 over it.鈥澛�

Now both 鈥淗eroes" and 鈥淭he X-Files鈥� are being brought back and the new versions could possibly satisfy fans who were not happy with the way the original series wrapped up. 鈥淗eroes Reborn,鈥� the name of the new 13-episode series on NBC, has stumbled with critics so far, but the show is still very early in its run, with the second episode set to debut on Oct. 1. The show could still improve.聽

Fans will have to wait a little longer to see if 鈥淭he X-Files鈥� wraps up the show's central questions in a more satisfying way. The new 鈥淴-Files," which is set to run for six episodes, debuts this January on Fox.
