The X-Files, produced by Chris Carter, stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who investigate unsolved paranormal cases.
When naming The X-Files on its list of the 100 best TV series of all time for 2023, Variety wrote: But thanks to David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (and their undeniable chemistry), fans kept hearing every surreal and fantastical quote from Mulder and Scully. Balancing a rich (if ultimately frustrating) mythology with a famous “Monster of the Week” episode, and Duchovny’s true believer with Anderson’s perpetually shocked skeptic, “The X-Files” was a clever, glossy mixture of FBI work and the infinite possibilities of the universe. It was successful enough to last for nine seasons, two movies and a revival for two more seasons, and many fans still believe the truth is out there. ”
In addition to “The X-Files,” other sci-fi series that have dedicated channels on Pluto TV include “Star Trek,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Stargate” and “Doctor Who.”
