Info About The X-Files

It started as a cult series at the FOX network in 1993, and is now in its sixth season. The main charactres are the FBI agents Fox Mulder played by David Duchovny, and Dana Scully played by Gillian Anderson.

Mulder and Scully investigates the FBI`s unsolved cases, called the X-files. The cases solution often involves paranormal phenomena. Mulder, whose belief in the paranormal was fueled by the abduction of his sister by aliens when he was 12 years old, was partnered with Scully, a medical doctor who believes everything has a scientific explanation. The point was that she should debunk his outlandish theories. Instead, the two formed a close bond that has endured, even after the destruction of the X-files in the fifth seasons final episode.

The sixth season opener finds Mulder and Scully attempting to return to work on the X-files with the help of their supervisor, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi). But in the dark figures a shadow government, led by the Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis), and they have other plans. The first episode also features a return appearance by Mimi Rogers as Agent Diana Fowley and Chris Owens as Agent Jeffery Spender.

Behind the scenes, the new season also marks a turning point for five years of shooting in Vancouver. The change of location will allow the series to tell new kinds of stories, involving parts of the country that previously could not be easily duplicated in the Pacific Northwest.

Among the cases the pair has investigated are a violent, unseen force surrounding a young girl that kills those who threaten her (Chinga), a series of bizarre deaths thought to be the work of a genetically mutated serial killer who emerges every 30 years from hibernation to eat five human livers (Tooms), the mysterious demise of a research team drilling for prehistoric ice core samples at an Arctic research facility and the series main story, the government`s secret experiments.
