Since FOX renewed The X-Files for a 10-episode eleventh season back in April, fans have been wondering where the search for truth will take Mulder and Scully next, and two new images from the series—which will kick off its new season in early 2018—offer a look at what's ahead.

Posted by EW, the new X-Files images include Mulder, Scully, and something otherworldly. Speaking with X-Files creator Chris Carter, EW reveals that there will be eight monster-of-the-week episodes this season, and that the first episode will explore the Cigarette Smoking Man's past. Fans can also look forward to seeing Barbara Hershey portray a new key character, and another person known as Mr. Y will become a factor in the storyline as well.

"The next chapter of THE X-FILES, a thrilling, 10-episode second installment of the 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. In 2016, THE X-FILES drew an average multi-platform audience of nearly 16 million viewers and was the season’s No. 2 broadcast drama, as well as the most talked-about event series on Twitter.

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 and Mulder, as they investigate unexplained cases – “X-Files” – for which the only answers involve paranormal phenomena.

THE X-FILES is a production of 20th Century Fox Television in association with Ten Thirteen Productions. Chris Carter is the creator and executive producer of the series. Glen Morgan also serves as an executive producer."
