The X-Files Returns to Comics With New Series From Dynamite Entertainment
The X-Files franchise is experiencing a significant resurgence in 2026, marking a notable revival of the iconic series. Following the theatrical release of “The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Vrach Frankensteyn” and LEGO’s inaugural X-Files construction set, Dynamite Entertainment has announced a new X-Files comic book series launching this winter. This announcement continues the franchise’s momentum across multiple media platforms.
The upcoming series will be written by Joe Harris, a writer with established credentials in the X-Files universe. Harris previously penned “The X-Files: Season 10” and “Season 11” for IDW Publishing, critically acclaimed comic book continuations that offered an alternative progression of the beloved television series’ narrative. His return to the property ensures experienced storytelling while potentially attracting both longtime fans and new readers.
This development is part of a broader expansion initiative for the X-Files brand, which has remained a cultural touchstone since its original broadcast concluded. The combination of new film content, toy partnerships with major manufacturers, and ongoing comic book publications reflects renewed industry confidence in revitalizing classic franchises through multi-platform storytelling and merchandising strategies.
