The original series aired from September 1993 to May 2002 on <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a>, spanning <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_X-Files_episodes" title="List of The X-Files episodes">nine seasons, with 202 episodes</a>. A <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_season_10" title="The X-Files season 10">tenth season</a> of six episodes ran from January to February 2016. Following the ratings success of this revival, The X-Files returned for an <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_season_11" title="The X-Files season 11">eleventh season</a> of ten episodes, which ran from January to March 2018. In addition to the television series, two feature films have been released: the 1998 film <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_(film)" title="The X-Files (film)">The X-Files</a> and the stand-alone film <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files:_I_Want_to_Believe" title="The X-Files: I Want to Believe">The X-Files: I Want to Believe</a>, released in 2008, six years after the original television run ended. The series revolves around <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a> (FBI) <a href="/wiki/Special_agent" title="Special agent">Special Agents</a> <a href="/wiki/Fox_Mulder" title="Fox Mulder">Fox Mulder</a> (<a href="/wiki/David_Duchovny" title="David Duchovny">David Duchovny</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Dana_Scully" title="Dana Scully">Dana Scully</a> (<a href="/wiki/Gillian_Anderson" title="Gillian Anderson">Gillian Anderson</a>), who investigate the eponymous "<a href="/wiki/X-files_unit" title="X-files unit">X-Files</a>": marginalized, unsolved cases involving <a href="/wiki/Paranormal" title="Paranormal">paranormal</a> phenomena. Mulder is a skilled <a href="/wiki/Offender_profiling" title="Offender profiling">criminal profiler</a>, an ardent <a href="/wiki/Supernaturalism" class="mw-redirect" title="Supernaturalism">supernaturalist</a>, and a <a href="/wiki/Conspiracy_theory" title="Conspiracy theory">conspiracy theorist</a> who believes in the existence of the paranormal, whereas Scully is a medical doctor and skeptic who has been assigned to scientifically analyze Mulder's case files. Early in the series, both agents apparently become pawns in a much larger conflict and come to trust only each other and select others. The agents discover what appears to be a governmental agenda to hide evidence of <a href="/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life" title="Extraterrestrial life">extraterrestrial life</a>. Mulder and Scully's shared adventures initially lead them to develop a close platonic bond, which develops into a complex romantic relationship. Roughly one third of the series' episodes follow a complicated <a href="/wiki/Mythopoeia" title="Mythopoeia">mythopoeia</a>-driven <a href="/wiki/Mythology_of_The_X-Files" title="Mythology of The X-Files">story arc</a> about a planned alien invasion, whereas the other two-thirds may be described as "<a href="/wiki/Villain_of_the_week" title="Villain of the week">monster of the week</a>" episodes that focus on a singular villain, mutant, or monster. The X-Files was inspired by earlier television series featuring elements of suspense, horror, and speculative science fiction, including <a href="/wiki/The_Twilight_Zone_(1959_TV_series)" title="The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)">The Twilight Zone</a>, <a href="/wiki/Night_Gallery" title="Night Gallery">Night Gallery</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tales_from_the_Darkside" title="Tales from the Darkside">Tales from the Darkside</a>, <a href="/wiki/Twin_Peaks" title="Twin Peaks">Twin Peaks</a>, and especially <a href="/wiki/Kolchak:_The_Night_Stalker" title="Kolchak: The Night Stalker">Kolchak: The Night Stalker</a>. When creating the main characters, Carter sought to reverse gender stereotypes by making Mulder a believer and Scully a skeptic. The first seven seasons featured Duchovny and Anderson relatively equally. In the eighth and ninth seasons, Anderson took precedence while Duchovny appeared intermittently. New main characters were introduced: FBI Special Agents <a href="/wiki/John_Doggett" title="John Doggett">John Doggett</a> (<a href="/wiki/Robert_Patrick" title="Robert Patrick">Robert Patrick</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Monica_Reyes" title="Monica Reyes">Monica Reyes</a> (<a href="/wiki/Annabeth_Gish" title="Annabeth Gish">Annabeth Gish</a>), among others. Mulder and Scully's immediate superior, <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation#Rank_structure" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">Assistant Director</a> <a href="/wiki/Walter_Skinner" title="Walter Skinner">Walter Skinner</a> (<a href="/wiki/Mitch_Pileggi" title="Mitch Pileggi">Mitch Pileggi</a>), began to appear regularly. The first five seasons of The X-Files were filmed in <a href="/wiki/Vancouver" title="Vancouver">Vancouver</a>, British Columbia, before production eventually moved to <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, apparently to accommodate Duchovny's schedule. However, the series later returned to Vancouver with the filming of The X-Files: I Want to Believe as well as the tenth and eleventh seasons. The X-Files was a hit for the Fox network and received largely positive reviews, although its long-term story arc was criticized near the conclusion. Initially considered a cult series, it turned into a pop culture touchstone that tapped into public mistrust of governments and large institutions and embraced conspiracy theories and spirituality. Both the series and lead actors Duchovny and Anderson received multiple <a href="/wiki/List_of_accolades_received_by_The_X-Files" title="List of accolades received by The X-Files">awards and nominations</a>, and by its conclusion the show was the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. television history. The series also spawned a <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_(franchise)" title="The X-Files (franchise)">franchise</a> that includes <a href="/wiki/Millennium_(TV_series)" title="Millennium (TV series)">Millennium</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)" title="The Lone Gunmen (TV series)">The Lone Gunmen</a> spin-offs, two theatrical films, and accompanying <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_merchandise" title="The X-Files merchandise">merchandise</a>. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-3"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Premise">Premise</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_X-Files&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Premise">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="General">General</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_X-Files&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: General">edit</a>]</div> The X-Files follows <a href="/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">Federal Bureau of Investigation</a> (FBI) <a href="/wiki/Special_agent" title="Special agent">Special Agents</a> <a href="/wiki/Fox_Mulder" title="Fox Mulder">Fox Mulder</a> (<a href="/wiki/David_Duchovny" title="David Duchovny">David Duchovny</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Dana_Scully" title="Dana Scully">Dana Scully</a> (<a href="/wiki/Gillian_Anderson" title="Gillian Anderson">Gillian Anderson</a>). Special Agent Mulder is a talented <a href="/wiki/Offender_profiling" title="Offender profiling">profiler</a>, <a href="/wiki/Conspiracy_theory" title="Conspiracy theory">conspiracy theorist</a>, and an ardent <a href="/wiki/Supernaturalism" class="mw-redirect" title="Supernaturalism">supernaturalist</a>. He is also adamant about the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life and its presence on Earth. These beliefs earn him the nickname "Spooky Mulder" and an assignment to a little-known department that deals with unsolved cases, the <a href="/wiki/X-files_unit" title="X-files unit">X-Files</a>. His belief in the paranormal springs from the claimed <a href="/wiki/Alien_abduction" title="Alien abduction">alien abduction</a> of his sister Samantha Mulder when Mulder was 12. Her abduction drives Mulder throughout most of the series. Because of this, as well as more nebulous desires for vindication and the revelation of truths kept hidden by human authorities, Mulder struggles to maintain objectivity in his investigations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELowry199599–101-5">[5]</a> Special Agent Scully is a foil for Mulder in this regard. As a medical doctor and natural skeptic, Scully approaches cases with detachment, even when Mulder, despite his considerable training, loses his objectivity.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELowry199599–156-6">[6]</a> She is partnered with Mulder initially so that she can debunk Mulder's nonconforming theories, often supplying logical, scientific explanations for the cases' apparently unexplainable phenomena. Although she is frequently able to offer scientific alternatives to Mulder's deductions, she is rarely able to refute them completely. Over the course of the series, she becomes increasingly dissatisfied with her own ability to approach the cases scientifically.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHurwitzKnowles2008137-7">[7]</a> After Mulder's abduction at the hands of aliens in the <a href="/wiki/The_X-Files_season_7" title="The X-Files season 7">seventh season</a> finale "<a href="/wiki/Requiem_(The_X-Files)" title="Requiem (The X-Files)">Requiem</a>", Scully becomes a "reluctant believer" who explains the paranormal with science.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Various episodes also deal with the relationship between Mulder and Scully, originally platonic, but that later develops romantically.<a href="#cite_note-botched-9">[9]</a> Mulder and Scully are joined by <a href="/wiki/John_Doggett" title="John Doggett">John Doggett</a> (<a href="/wiki/Robert_Patrick" title="Robert Patrick">Robert Patrick</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Monica_Reyes" title="Monica Reyes">Monica Reyes</a> (<a href="/wiki/Annabeth_Gish" title="Annabeth Gish">Annabeth Gish</a>) late in the series, after Mulder is abducted.

Duchovny, however, turned out to be one of the best-read people that Carter knew.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> Anderson auditioned for the part of Scully in 1993. "I couldn't put the script down", she recalled.<a href="#cite_note-gabio-54">[54]</a> For the role, the network wanted either a more established actress or one that was "taller, leggier, blonder and breastier" than the 24-year-old Anderson, a theater veteran with minor film experience. After auditions, Carter felt she was the only choice.<a href="#cite_note-interviewwithanderson-57">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELowry199515–16-58">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-twentyohsix-59">[59]</a> Carter insisted that Anderson had the kind of "no-nonsense integrity that the role required." For portraying Scully, Anderson won numerous major awards: the <a href="/wiki/Screen_Actors_Guild_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Screen Actors Guild Award">Screen Actors Guild Award</a> in 1996 and 1997, an <a href="/wiki/Emmy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Emmy Award">Emmy Award</a> in 1997, and a <a href="/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Golden Globe Award">Golden Globe Award</a> 1997.<a href="#cite_note-gabio-54">[54]</a> The character <a href="/wiki/Walter_Skinner" title="Walter Skinner">Walter Skinner</a> was played by actor <a href="/wiki/Mitch_Pileggi" title="Mitch Pileggi">Mitch Pileggi</a>, who had unsuccessfully auditioned for the roles of two or three other characters on The X-Files before getting the part. At first, being asked back to audition for the recurring role puzzled him, until he discovered the reason he had not previously been cast in those roles—Carter had been unable to envision Pileggi as any of those characters, because the actor had been shaving his head. When Pileggi auditioned for Walter Skinner, he had been in a grumpy mood and had allowed his hair to grow. His attitude fit well with Skinner's character, causing Carter to assume that the actor was only pretending to be grumpy. Pileggi later realized he had been lucky that he had not been cast in one of the earlier roles, as he believed he would have appeared in only a single episode and would have missed the opportunity to play the recurring role.<a href="#cite_note-Walter_Skinner-60">[60]</a> Before the seventh season aired, Duchovny filed a lawsuit against <a href="/wiki/20th_Century_Fox" class="mw-redirect" title="20th Century Fox">20th Century Fox</a>, claiming that Fox had undersold the rights to its own affiliates, thereby costing him huge sums of money. Eventually, the lawsuit was settled, and Duchovny was awarded a settlement of about $20 million, but the lawsuit put strain on Duchovny's professional relationships. Neither Carter nor Duchovny was contracted to work on the series beyond the seventh season; however, Fox entered into negotiations near the end of that season to bring the two on board for an eighth season.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKessenich200280-61">[61]</a> After settling his contract dispute, Duchovny quit full-time participation in the show after the seventh season.<a href="#cite_note-bbcnews-62">[62]</a> This contributed to uncertainties over the likelihood of an eighth season.<a href="#cite_note-salon-63">[63]</a> Carter and most fans felt the show was at its natural endpoint with Duchovny's departure, but it was decided that Mulder would be abducted at the end of the seventh season and would return in 12 episodes the following year.<a href="#cite_note-space-64">[64]</a> The producers then announced that a new character, John Doggett, would fill Mulder's role.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShapiro2001278-65">[65]</a> More than 100 actors auditioned for the role of Doggett, but only about ten were seriously considered. <a href="/wiki/Lou_Diamond_Phillips" title="Lou Diamond Phillips">Lou Diamond Phillips</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hart_Bochner" title="Hart Bochner">Hart Bochner</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Campbell" title="Bruce Campbell">Bruce Campbell</a> were among the ten.

Bill Roe became the show's new director of photography and episodes generally had a drier, brighter look due to California's sunshine and climate, as compared with Vancouver's rain, fog and temperate forests.
