‘The X-Files’ Had an Amazing Season 10 Before 2016’s Revival Series Premiered

After a long hiatus, The X-Files returned in 2016 with two new seasons, bringing back David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as the iconic duo. While the revival was generally popular, some changes to the show’s established mythology frustrated fans, and the ending wasn’t entirely satisfying. Interestingly, before the 2016 season aired, The X-Files actually had an earlier, official tenth season comprised of entirely separate stories.
