FOXRussian network TV-3 has struck a deal to air The X-Files limited series next month, outbidding other channels in the country.
The X-Files revival’s first episode will air on TV-3 on Jan. 26, just two days after the U.S. premiere on Fox, the channel said.

In the summer of 2014, TV-3 aired all nine seasons of the original The X-Files series, which first screened on Channel One and REN-TV in Russia.
