Back again to find the answers.

The X-Files event series has been renewed for a second season by FOX.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reprise their iconic roles as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully for 10 more episodes of the popular sci-fi series.

After the success of last year's return season, the show was expected to renew with more episodes than the six of its predecessor, though deals with FOX hadn't been finalised and confirmed until now.

Series creator Chris Carter will also return as Executive Producer for the new season, which will start production this year and air during 2017 and 2018.

The original X-Files series premiered back in 1993 and ran for 9 seasons, winning multiple awards during its course. Our review of the latest installment in this newly revived sci-fi classic is a perfect starting point before Season 11.
