The X-Files: Season 12 (2025) – Review

The long-awaited return of The X-Files in Season 12 brings back the eerie mystery and government conspiracies that made the series legendary. Picking up after the dramatic events of Season 11, this new chapter follows FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they uncover a new wave of paranormal threats while dealing with the consequences of past revelations.

This season delves deeper into alien colonization, the Syndicate’s hidden agenda, and the fate of William, Mulder and Scully’s son, whose powers make him a key target. The storytelling feels both nostalgic and fresh, blending classic monster-of-the-week episodes with an overarching mythology that expands the show's lore.

Visually, Season 12 embraces a cinematic style with darker, more atmospheric cinematography, enhancing the tension. The writing successfully balances sci-fi horror, emotional depth, and the signature witty banter between Mulder and Scully. Supporting characters like Skinner, Reyes, and a few surprise returns help flesh out the stakes.

One of the biggest strengths is how it modernizes The X-Files for a new generation while staying true to its roots. Themes of government surveillance, artificial intelligence, and bioengineering add a contemporary edge, making the conspiracy elements feel eerily relevant.

While some questions from past seasons are finally answered, the finale leaves just enough mystery to keep fans guessing. If this is the final chapter for Mulder and Scully, it’s a worthy sendoff—if not, Season 12 proves there’s still life (and plenty of truth) left in The X-Files. 👽🔦
