After what they are calling a "13-year commercial break," the creators of the X-Files have breathed new life into the hit Fox series, with the announcement that it's coming back.
Series creator and executive producer Chris Carter made the announcement Tuesday, confirming that both of the series stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be back as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for the short-run resurrection.
"X-Files" will return in a six episode ark, but no word on the premiere date. It originally premiered in September 1993 and ran for nine seasons. It earned 16 Emmy's and five Golden Globes and spawned two feature films.
Carter did say production is scheduled to begin this summer.

"The good news is the world has gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories," Carter said.
Social media, of course, was buzzing over the announcement.
