'The X-Files' revival officially has a premiere date

The X-Files revival at Fox officially has a premiere date: January 24, 2016.

Fox unveiled the premiere date Monday morning ahead of their big presentation to advertisers as part of the broadcast network Upfronts taking place in New York City this week.

Announced back in January, the reboot will kick off its six-episode run with a two-night premiere that kicks off immediately following the NFC Championship Game. (In other words: a huge premiere slot.) It's regular time period will be Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.  (Mashable)

FOX TV Group Chairman Dana Walden said, "everyone will be happy with what [Chris] has planned." With stuff like this floating around the upfront presentations, it's easy to believe her. (Indiewire)

FOX programming presentation was held at Wollman Rink in Central Park on May 11, 2015 in New York City.
