	Season 6 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on November 8, 1998 - Nearly five months after the release of the [[X-Files: Fight the Future, The\|first feature film]] - and would be the first season of the series to be filmed in Los Angeles, California, after having been filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the previous five seasons. The show moved to accommodate David Duchovny, who wished to be closer to his then wife [[Téa Leoni]], and to also have proximity to Hollywood for potential film work.

Despite opposition by showrunner Chris Carter, FOX moved the series to LA, where it would be filmed for the rest of its original run.

	The move to LA would bring several changes to the show. One was a major increase in overall production costs, which limited the scale of the series in terms of special effects use and other production aspects compared to prior filming in Vancouver. Another would be a somewhat differing tone in story-writing which moved from the prior darker and more intense 'Monster of the Week' episodes to 'lighter' standalones with simpler stories and different styles of humor and/or romantic elements - elements which would alienate some long-term fans of the series. Likely due to these factors, the series would go down slightly in ratings compared to the [[The X-Files - Season 5\|previous season]]. Several episodes would be well-regarded in S6 however, and the show overall remained quite popular. Duchovny himself would both solo-write (he had co-written several prior episodes) and direct an episode in the sixth season, "The Unnatural", while the season would feature several notable guest actors, such as [[Michael McKean]] and [[Bruce Campbell]].
