VIDEO: Check Out New Animated Teaser for Fox's THE X-FILES

Creator/executive producer Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents FOX Mulder and Dana Scully in Fox's limited revival of THE X-FILES. This marks the momentous return of the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history. Mitch Pileggi will also return. Today, the network debuted a fun new animated teaser - check it out below!

THE X-FILES originally premiered in September 1993. Over the course of its nine-season run, the influential series went from breakout sci-fi favorite to massive global hit, and became one of the most successful television dramas of all time. The show, which earned 16 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes and a Peabody Award, follows FBI special agents Scully (Anderson) and Mulder (Duchovny) as they investigate unexplained cases - "X-Files" - for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

Produced by 20th Century FOX Television and Ten Thirteen Productions, THE X-FILES is created and executive-produced by Chris Carter.

McHale satirizes pop culture and current events each week on E!'s "The Soup." His quick wit and sharp comedic timing has made the show a pop culture phenomenon and led to his 2013 spinoff series "The Soup Investigates." He was most recently seen in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced supernatural thriller "Deliver Us From Evil" and also appeared in Warner Bros' romantic comedy "Blended" alongside Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.

McHale's additional film credits include Seth MacFarlane's "TED," "What's Your Number?," "The Big Year," "Spy Kids: All The Time in The World" and "The Informant." McHale will star as Robin Williams' son in "A Merry Friggin' Christmas," slated for release this November.
