9-1-1, the provocative new procedural drama, will premiere following the debut of the next thrilling chapter of THE X-FILES Wednesday, Jan. 3 on FOX. The all-new, 10-episode second installment of THE X-FILES (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) event series once again will be executive-produced by creator Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson returning in their roles as iconic FBI Agents FOX MULDER and DANA SCULLY.

Additionally, the all-new episodes will feature guest-star appearances by Annabeth Gish, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, Karin Konoval, Barbara Hershey, Haley Joel Osment and William B.

The series stars Academy and Emmy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Angela Bassett ("American Horror Story," "What's Love Got to Do with It"), Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Peter Krause ("The Catch," "Six Feet Under") and Emmy Award nominee Connie Britton ("Nashville," "Friday Night Lights," "American Horror Story").
