It’ll be a “soft reboot”, same continuity, just ~20 years later. Agent Mulder has disappeared at a time when his government needs him most. Scully’s estranged son works as an FBI agent and is trying to bring a “new order” to the government, a MAGA-esque cult, by any means necessary.
Meanwhile, our new cast of intrepid, quirky, plucky, randomly gay, multicultural are introduced through a series of weird encounters and will absolutely hate working with each other. After a series of shadowy encounters, and ominous snippets of The Vaping Man”, they’ll be introduced to Senator Skully, who tasks them with finding out, “Where is Fox Mulder?” First season will end on a cliffhanger with Walter Skinner getting killed off and the new cast eventually meeting up with Fox Mulder. Final scene will be one of them handing off the "I Want to Believe" poster to Mulder... fade to black.
Somehow, JJ Abrams returns.
