The X-Files fans can look forward to seeing the revived series on screens in early 2016.
Fox revealed today (May 11) that the six-episode event series will debut on the network on Sunday, January 24, before continuing in the Monday 8pm time slot.
The X-Files will take over from Gotham, set to return in the spring.
David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and Mitch Pileggi are all confirmed to be returning to the paranormal series as their FBI agent characters.
The X-Files creator Chris Carter previously said that it was "a perfect time" for the show's revival.
"I think of it as a 13-year commercial break," he said. "The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories."
What to Read Next
Glen Morgan and James Wong, writers of classic episodes such as 'Squeeze' and 'Little Green Men', will join Carter and Darin Morgan to create the new season.
The X-Files originally aired for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002 on Fox, and also spawned two feature films.
