:upscale()/2015/11/13/931/n/1922283/adff11ac_edit_img_cover_file_37197529_1437508800.jpg)
While we already knew Mulder and Scully would return for the X-Files revival, more casting news creeped in while filming was underway. In addition to a few familiar faces, Robbie Amell and Lauren Ambrose also joined the cast. Creators aren't keeping their roles undercover, either. We already know their character names! This might just be the tip of the iceberg in terms of who will appear on the six-part limited series, but only time will tell. Until then, take a look at the cast so far, watch the trailers, check out pictures from the set, and see the posters!
