The X-files was ahead of its time. The spooky, conspiracy-minded series premiered on Sept. 9,1993, when the TV business was simpler. It grew into a billion-dollar property for what is now 21st Century Fox by cashing in on new revenue streams and opportunities to engage fans that have grown in importance with the advent of digital technologies-advances that were merely science fiction back then. Now, with The X-Files returning as a limited series beginning Jan. 24, in addition to the truth being out there, the big money is out there as well. Fox expects Agents Mulder and Scully to deliver for both fans and the company.
