Los Angeles: The popular 1990s sci-fi procedural classic 'X-Files' will return to FOX as a six-episode limited series after a gap of 13 years. Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are back on board, along with creator Chris Carter.

"I think of it as a 13-year commercial break. The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories," Carter said.
