The X-Files is the rule-proving exception to nostalgia fatigue. Networks and studios turn out remakes and sequels and requels and semakes, all to diminishing critical returns, but The X-Files is one show that it feels impossible to get enough of.

So here we are, about to embark on an 11th season of the sci-fi classic, 25 years after its initial debut.

Judging by the teaser, Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) continue to keep on keeping on. Scully's hair is red again, which is oddly reassuring, and the pair seem to be on the hunt for the son they gave up for adoption for his own protection way back in season eight.

Does any of it appear to be strictly necessary? No. Will we be watching? Of course.

The X-Files will return in the US on Wednesday, January 3 at 8pm ET on Fox. Channel 5 will air the new season in the UK.
