New 'X-Files' Teaser Features First Footage of Mulder and Scully in Action (Video)TheWrap

In a new promo for the upcoming “X-Files” miniseries, we get our first look at Mulder and Scully in action.

The two FBI agents are seen bursting into a darkened room with their guns drawn, presumably on the search for something related to the paranormal.

The video was released as part of Fox’s “201 Days of ‘The X-Files'” promotion for the show’s upcoming miniseries revival. If fans start watching one episode per day beginning July 7, they will finish the series on January 24, 2016, the day the new miniseries premieres.
