The X-Files may be returning to the small screen in 2016 but fans have another reason to get excited as the entire original series is FINALLY being released on Blu-ray this December.

The X-Files – The Collector’s Set will be released in the UK on 8th December on Blu-ray for the first time. The boxset includes a slot for the event series (aka season 10), which is due to air in early 2016.

Originally airing from 1993 to 2002 the show picked up 16 Emmys and 5 Golden Globes during its run. It has 202 episodes over 9 seasons and has remained hugely popular with fans.

Although they began as reluctant partners, FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully (Golden Globe winners David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) ultimately form a powerful bond as they struggle to unravel deadly conspiracies and solve paranormal mysteries.

The X-Files – The Collector’s Set features more than 23 hours of content across all nine seasons including behind-the-scenes featurettes, and commentaries by executive producer Chris Carter (Millennium, Harsh, Realm), R.W Goodwin, Rob Bowman, Kim Manners, Frank Spotniz, Robert Patrick and Rod Hardy.
