PARANORMAL activity, alien encounters, blistering sexual chemistry between a pair of suit-clad agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation ... The X-Files had it all.

And now the hit 1990s series is about to be remade — with its original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson also returning.

For nine glorious seasons, agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully delighted viewers with their probing of unexplained, spooky occurrences.

Their pursuit for the truth, which is apparently still out there, spawned a few movies, a board game and a legion of devoted fans.

American network Fox confirmed today it will revive the franchise for a short six episode run. It also revealed Anderson and Duchovny are definitely on board.

The key to locking the actors was timing — she’s starring in the hugely popular British series The Fall and he’s awaiting the debut of his new NBC series Aquarius.

But Fox found a way to make it work and filming will begin in the middle of the year.

Buzz has been building since February when Duchovny gave a blunt indication that he’d be all for a reboot of The X-Files.

“It looks good; that’s all I’ll say,” he said during an appearance on The Talk. “It looks very good.”

The show’s original creator Chris Carter is also on board and said the show’s absence was like “a 13-year commercial break”.

“The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories,” Carter told The Guardian.
