Building the anticipation for the show's premiere, FOX has released a new full promo for "The X-Files" revival. The video offers more details of the plotline as it starts to put the pieces together.
Joel McHale's Tad O'Malley opens it with a warning about an apocalypse that will likely happen on a Friday. There's a shot of an alien's hand. It appears that the government has been experimenting on the alien technology.
After being alerted by O'Malley about the imminent destruction, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) tries to prove his theories. He calls his old partner Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) to ask for her help, but she remains skeptical as always.
Explosive scenes, a riot and an attack are previewed along with some flashback scenes. There's also a glimpse of familiar faces, including Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and The Smoking Man (William B. Davis).
"The X-Files" six-episode event series is set years after events on the original series and is promised to present new monster and "all brand new stories." It will launch with a two-night premiere on Sunday, January 24 and Monday, January 25 on FOX.
