I'm curious, though - won't it be a little... out of its time? The X-Files was very much a product of the era when 'UFO' and 'alien' were supernatural, or at best pseudoscientific, terms - we watched the entire first series in a week a few months ago, and I started twitching every time Mulder did one of his 'your human science can't hope to understand'... y'know, space flight, or genetics, or whatever easy-to-understand scientific concept he was going on about at the time... speeches.
But I... think we're out of that period now? Aren't we? The idea of aliens and suchlike is something which TV has shown we can study, not just wave our hands in the air and proclaim 'IT IS A MYSTERY'. No?
(Of course, it may well have gotten 'out of its time' and adapted to that during the original run. Series 1 is the only one I've seen any significant chunks of.)
