They will be joined by several returning X-Files performers, including Mitch Pileggi, Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, Annabeth Gish, and William B. Davis.
While The X-Files will revisit the mythology of the original series, there will also be stand-alone episodes with new monsters. There are also several high profile guest stars in the miniseries, including Joel McHale, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, Annet Mahendru, Rhys Darby, and Kumail Nanjiani.
