Hey, if you’re a ’90s kid or just love a good conspiracy, massive news just dropped: the entire run of The X-Files—starring David Duchovny as the iconic Fox Mulder—is hitting free streaming on Pluto TV starting January 1, 2026. That’s all 11 seasons, 218 episodes of UFOs, aliens, and government cover-ups, available on-demand with ads, no subscription needed.​
Mulder Magic
David Duchovny exploded onto screens in 1993 as FBI agent Fox “Spooky” Mulder, the alien-obsessed believer teamed with Gillian Anderson’s skeptical Dana Scully. He stuck around for the first seven seasons, wrote and directed a few episodes, then returned for the 2016 and 2018 revivals, making him the heart of the show’s paranormal quest. Off-screen, Duchovny’s career spanned Kalifornia pre-fame to Californication post-X-Files, but Mulder defined his legacy as a cultural phenomenon.​​
David Duchovny’s Free Binge Bonanza
Pluto TV’s dropping the full series for free (ad-supported) in the US from New Year’s Day 2026, perfect for marathon-watching Mulder’s wild cases. No legit free options exist right now in India—Disney+ Hotstar lacks it, and VPNs to US Freevee or Hulu are common workarounds, though not always reliable. Movies like Fight the Future need separate rentals, but the TV haul covers everything from pilot to finale.​
Why Binge Now?
The timing’s killer with Ryan Coogler’s X-Files reboot in works since 2023—Duchovny’s wished it luck but stayed mum on returning as Mulder. Fans in Australia snag it free on SBS On Demand, UK on Channel 4 sometimes, but Pluto’s US push means global VPN chasers can finally dive in legit and cheap. Pro tip: Start with Season 1’s “Pilot” for that instant hook—truth is out there, and it’s free soon.​
