The truth continues to be out there as Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny open The X-Files on Audible on July 18th.

Based upon the graphic novels by Joe Harris – with creative direction from series creator Chris Carter – and adapted specifically for the audio format by multi-award-winning Dirk Maggs (best-known for his adaptations of Douglas Adams’ Hitchiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere for the BBC as well as the Alien saga for Audible), The X-Files: Cold Cases marks yet another thrilling addition to the X-Files saga.

Set after the events of the 2008 film The X-Files: I Want To Believe – providing additional backstory to the incidents that pulled Mulder and Scully out of reclusion prior to 2016’s miniseries revival – a database breach at FBI headquarters allows an unknown group to access and capitalize on those investigations left unsolved by the secret department once known as The X-Files. As friends and foes of the agency long-thought gone begin to inexplicably reappear, former agents Mulder and Scully come out of anonymity to tackle a growing conspiracy involving their former department, the US government and forces not of this world.

Here, fans are treated once again to Mulder and Scully’s irreplaceable chemistry as only the series’ leads could deliver; Duchovny’s deadpan and cynical aloofness finding its natural counterpoint in Anderson’s unwavering intelligence and rigidity. Appearances from series regulars and the actors who made them fan-favourites round out this must-listen arc: the gruff, no-BS righteousness of Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi); the distinctive click-puff of ‘The Cigarette Smoking Man’ (William B. Davis); and the stooge-like hijinks of three beloved conspiracy theorists called the ‘Lone Gunmen’ (Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, and Bruce Harwood).
