The X-Files is an American science fiction drama series created by Chris Carter that premiered on Fox in 1993, following FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate unsolved cases involving the paranormal, ranging from standalone monster-of-the-week stories to an overarching mythology concerning extraterrestrial life and government conspiracy. The series combined the structure of a case-of-the-week procedural with a serialized mythology arc, a hybrid format that influenced the structure of numerous genre television series that followed it. The X-Files became one of the most commercially and critically successful science fiction series in American television history and significantly shaped popular culture's engagement with UFO and conspiracy themes during the 1990s.
