The truth isn't out there. It's on Netflix .

"X-Files" is officially coming back , and it's bringing David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson along with it. The series, which ran for nine seasons, spawned two movies and had a massive cult following, will return for six special episodes on Fox. As far as what to expect, EW.com reports comments from series creator Chris Carter suggest the episodes will be more focused on the standalone "Monster-of-the-Week" format rather than playing into the series' overall "Mythology" storylines.

It has been 13 years since the show went off the air. After all that time, even Scully and Mulder would probably need a refresher. In honor, of "X-Files" coming back, here are the 18 "Mythology" and standalone "Monster" episodes you need to catch up on:

1
"Pilot" - Season 1, Episode 1 - Mythology

6
"Piper Maru" - Season 3, Episode 15 - Mythology

The crew of a salvage ship gets a strange illness. But they'll probably be totally fine, right? Wrong! The episode introduces "black oil," which you definitely don't want to mess with.
7

The episode follows the 1998 movie and finds Mulder and Scully on the hunt for a mysterious deadly creature.
