The X-Files New Season: Watch The Dramatic First Trailer

The first trailer for the new season of The X-Files is here. The eleventh season of the hugely popular sci-fi mystery show is set to air in 2018, with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson returning as FBI agents Mulder and Scully.

The trailer premiered at New York Comic-Con and is now online. It suggests that the paranormal dangers that Mulder and Scully will face are even more dramatic than usual–check it out below:

The X-Files first returned to screens for a limited-run season in early 2016, after more than a decade away. Although the new season met with mixed reviews, it proved a ratings hit. The season premiere was watched by more than 20 million viewers in the US, and the show was one of the most popular of the year.

During the X-Files panel at NYCC, Anderson suggested that this might be her final outing as Scully. “I think this will be it for me,” she said, via ScreenRant. She went on to explain her reasons for returning after so long. “It felt like it wasn’t over. It didn’t feel like we necessarily deliver everything the fans were expecting of us last time, and so it was that.”

The X-Files originally ran for nine years, and clocked up 202 episodes between 1993 and 2002. By the time the last of those original seasons had ended, it had become the longest-running consecutive sci-fi series ever on US broadcast TV. There were also two spin-off movies: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future, and The X-Files: I Want to Believe in 2008.

Next Free Pikachu For Pokemon Sun And Moon Now Available

The Pokemon Company is giving away another free Pikachu for Pokemon Sun and Moon. Starting today, players can add a special Pikachu wearing Ash’s cap from the Unova region to their teams.

Like the previous three Pikachu that have been given away recently, the Unova cap Pikachu has a Hardy nature and comes with its exclusive Z-Crystal, Pikashunium Z. When the Z-Crystal is equipped, it allows Pikachu to use the powerful 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt Z-Move once per battle. This week’s Pikachu also knows the following attacks:

  • Thunderbolt
  • Quick Attack
  • Iron Tail
  • Volt Tackle

The Unova cap Pikachu is the fourth of six special Pikachu that The Pokemon Company is distributing to celebrate the Pokemon series’ upcoming 20th anniversary film, Pokemon The Movie: I Choose You. Each of the six Pikachu sports one of the caps Ash has worn throughout the anime series and comes with a slightly different moveset. You can see the full distribution schedule below.

The Unova cap Pikachu will only be available until October 16. To claim one, select Mystery Gift from Pokemon Sun or Moon’s main menu and select the option to receive a gift with a code/password. Input the code PIKACHU20 and you can pick the adorable Electric mouse up from the deliveryman inside any Pokemon Center. However, you can only redeem the code once, so if you used it to claim any of the previous three Pikachu, you won’t be able to use it again.

Sun and Moon players can also get a couple of other Pokemon for free right now. Target stores across the US are giving away a free download code for the popular Fire-type starter Charizard. GameStop has also begun distributing free download codes for the Mythical Fighting/Ghost-type Marshadow. You only have until October 14 to get a Charizard code if you haven’t yet, while the Marshadow distribution runs until October 23.
