After the episodes' release, Fox began referring to the string of episodes on their website as 'season 10', as did streaming sites like Amazon Prime and Hulu, and myriad critics. When Fox initially announced the string of episodes, the network referred to them collectively as an 'event series'.

The season consists of six episodes and concluded airing on February 22, 2016. The tenth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files commenced airing in the United States on January 24, 2016, on Fox.
