It's unclear whether this most recent season finale of Community will actually be the series' end, but Joel McHale is lining up another gig just in case. He's signed on to join Fox's six episode revival of The X-Files, which will bring back David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents Mulder and Scully.
McHale will take on the role of Tad O'Malley, “the anchor of a popular conservative internet news network who becomes an unlikely ally for Fox Mulder.” While this may seem like a strange role for McHale, this isn't his first time delving into the world of the supernatural. He had a major co-starring role in last year's Deliver Us from Evil alongside Edgar Ramirez and Eric Bana.
Series creator Cris Carter is back to spearhead The X-Files' return, with much of the original cast returning to their familiar roles. [Deadline]
