Hulu has not issued a public statement regarding the expiration. In similar cases, expiring content typically signals the end of a licensing agreement. According to streaming industry patterns, content from major networks like Fox may shift between platforms based on evolving rights and corporate partnerships.

The X-Files originally aired on Fox and was created by Chris Carter. The series stars Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully and David Duchovny as Fox Mulder. Across 218 episodes, the show follows two FBI agents investigating unexplained phenomena and government conspiracies. It ran from 1993 to 2002, returned for short seasons in 2016 and 2018, and became one of the longest-running sci-fi series in U.S. television history.

On Rotten Tomatoes, The X-Files holds a 74% average critic score and an 85% audience score. Season 4 holds the highest rating with 100%, while Season 9 ranks the lowest with 22%. Viewers can still purchase or rent the series on platforms like Fandango at Home, which lists all seasons.

This removal does not affect the availability of the series on other platforms. Users can continue watching The X-Files on digital storefronts like Fandango at Home and may expect the series to appear on other streaming services after leaving Hulu, depending on future licensing deals.
