For those ready to move on to one of the next big things in entertainment, this couldn’t have come sooner — a new 21-minute video going into more detail about what fans can expect with the reboot of The X-Files.

Featuring interviews with creator Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and the Seattle area’s own Joel McHale, who is super-stoked to be joining the cast, it will give X-Files fans a lot more insight as to what’s coming.

And it’s looking pretty promising.

Fans can expect a nice mix of standalone episodes, you know, the ones with those rogue-type monsters, as well as shows around the larger conspiracy theories and mythology of the series. With what’s come out in the previews it so far, we already know the Smoking Man will be making another appearance.

At 21 minutes, it’s a long preview to watch, but is anyone really working today anyway?

The X-Files returns on Jan. 24 on Fox.
