We’ve already experienced a revival of The X-Files early last year. Now, Mulder and Scully are returning for a further 10 episodes starting Jan. 3.

Feelings are running pretty high for season 11. The X-Files is a beloved TV show that often defies genre and simple explanations. Whether you’re a fan of the alien-focused “mytharc” story or prefer the “monster of the week” episodes, there’s likely something to take hold of you. Hopefully that will include new fans as well as established ones, who already have a pretty serious emotional stake in the matter.

Though, of course, no one may be quite as committed as some of the original participants. David Duchovny, who plays FBI Agent Fox Mulder, says that the script for this season had him in tears by the first page (in a good way). Gillian Anderson, well known for her role as Dana Scully, medical doctor, FBI agent and general badass, was similarly attached.

However, Anderson has stated that this season will be her last as Agent Scully. “I was a bit surprised by people’s reaction to my announcement,” she said. “Because my understanding was that this was a single season”.

Of course, if this season is a successful as fans and showrunners hope, who knows what the future may hold?

Here’s the synopsis for “My Struggle III”, courtesy of TV Guide:

"The Season 11 premiere picks up after the last event series’ cliffhanger with Mulder and Scully learning that they aren’t the only ones desperately searching for their long-lost son, William."

Young William is one of the biggest mysteries on the show. His appearance was something of a surprise, given that Scully thought she was infertile. Multiple exposures to alien radiation and medical experimentation will do that to you, apparently.

Yet, Scully and Mulder conceived a child. Is William a divine gift, the result of a scientific experiment, or something even bigger? Moreover, where is he? What is his apparent purpose?

Below is when and where you can watch “My Struggle III”:

"Date: Wednesday, Jan. 3Start time: 8 p.m. ETEpisode: “My Struggle III”TV Channel: FOXLive Stream: Stream 1 | Stream 2"

With all the alien artifacts and shadowy government agents interested in him, signs point to something interesting. Hopefully, we’ll get some more clues to the mystery in the season 11 opener.
