The X-Files is coming back in January, and production for Fox’s six-episode “event series” has officially begun. Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have been tweeting out teases from the set in recent days, and today we’re getting our first look at Mulder and Scully since we last saw them nearly seven years ago in X-Files: I Want To Believe, the second full-length movie inspired by the hit series. Let’s just say a lot has changed.
