Update: Writer/Director Glen Morgan’s episode Home Again.

The X-Files Revival filmed a scene with Philadelphia squatters in winter being removed from a building near Victory Square in downtown Vancouver this morning. And put its premiere date on a prop eviction notice at the doorway. Well played The X-Files. Well played.
