“The X-Files” continues to create new believers as all 11 seasons of the popular television series will be available on Pluto TV beginning January 1, 2026.
All 11 seasons (218 episodes of the series, which debuted in 1993, including the 2016 revival) will be available free on-demand and on a dedicated 24/7 linear channel in Pluto TV’s Sci-Fi category, alongside dedicated channels for “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Stargate” and “Doctor Who.”
The channel kicks off with a complete chronological run through of the series, followed by curated weekend marathons, reports MediaPlayNews.
As for the planned reboot, headed by Sinners and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, expect more of the same structure.
Coogler tells the Happy Sad Confused podcast that his new “X-Files” series will continue to have both “monsters of the week” and “overarching conspiracy” episodes.
“We intend on having both monsters of the week and also the overarching conspiracy […] it wouldn’t be X-Files if we didn’t do both. That’s what I’m doing now. Black Panther 3 comes after that. I’m hyped, bro.”
When asked if David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson would be appearing, Coogler only stated he’s a “big fan” of both.
“I’m a big fan of Gillian’s, I’m a big fan of David’s. That’s all I can say.”
This is great news for fans of the series, which followed two FBI agents—Fox Mulder, the believer, and Dana Scully, the skeptic—as they investigated the strange and unexplained while shadowy forces worked to thwart them. The show balanced memorable standalone episodes, such as the classic “Home,” with an overarching alien-invasion mythology that gave the series cohesion and helped bridge the two feature films.
